Imagine that your body does not feel any pain. I don’t mean you are invincible, but that your body does not produce any feeling of pain. It is like your whole body is on anesthetics. Now would that be good or not?
Now given that situation, let us say you drank something poisonous accidentally. Since your body has no sense of pain, what would happen to you? The poison will spread into your body destroying everything it passes through. You will be dead before you know it!
There is a campaign right now to eradicate “guilt”. They say guilt is bad for your self image. Others say guilt limits our freedom. They say take the guilt away and you will be happy. They made guilt as something evil or bad.
Guilt is a reaction of our soul when something evil enters it. It’s like your nose getting itchy when dust gets in, or your stomach hurting when you ate something bad. Like body pain, guilt is a warning sign that something harmful is getting in our system. If poison gets into our body, we can die. If sin gets into our soul and eats us up we would suffer something worst than death. Hell.
Guilt is not there to hinder our freedom, but to set it free. The healthier we are physically and spiritually the more we can exercise our freedom. Guilt helps us prevent doing things that will cause us to be miserable slaves. We think if we can take away our guilt we can enjoy sinful things more. But sin is self destructive and addictive in its nature, no matter how they package it. One of my frustrations is Desperate Housewives. They are making adultery look good and pleasurable. They are taking the guilt away from the sin of adultery. Unfortunately many people buy to this stupid propaganda and practice it in real life and suffer the consequences. I have not yet met a happy adulterer.
They say the worst sin of our age is the lose of the sense of sin. We have banished guilt for the sake of happiness. Yet our actions have betrayed us.
