Free of Guilt Legally
First, we need to understand that God's plan of salvation is a legal contract between God and the human race. Through Moses, God established his laws, the Ten Commandments.
Under the Old Testament, or "old covenant," God's chosen people sacrificed animals to atone for their sins. God required payment in blood for breaking his laws:
"For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life." (Leviticus 17:11, NIV)
In the New Testament, or "new covenant," a new contract came into being between God and humanity. Jesus himself served as the Lamb of God, a spotless sacrifice for human sin past, present, and future:
"And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." (Hebrews 10:11, NIV)
Free of Guilt Emotionally
"He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. (Psalm 101:12, NLT)
