Hello
Major, thank you for the invitation to the Romans study, I'll jump over and check it out
As far as guilt and sin is concerned, I do not feel guilt due to "past sins", as I know that all of those have been forgiven in Christ (though as I said in my last post, Satan spent a lot of time with me when I was a younger believer trying to get me to believe otherwise
).
I do feel guilt/shame whenever I fall for a temptation and allow it to become sin today however ("new sins", that is, as I'm sure you do too). Once I have confessed them, I get back to my walk as quickly as I am able, treating them like all of my other past (forgiven) sins (that is a bit more difficult to do with certain sins, if they are sins that end up causing a problem for someone else, for instance).
God bless you!!
