100 Bible Verses to Overcome Guilt

Let Christian faith and hope dispel the fears of guilt and woe; The Lord Almighty is our friend, and who can prove a foe? 2 He who his Son, most dear and lov’d, gave up for us to die, Shall he not all things freely give that goodness can supply? 3 Behold the best, the greatest gift, of everlasting love! Behold the pledge of peace below, and perfect bliss above! 4 Where is the judge who can condemn, since God hath justify’d? Who shall charge those with guilt or crime for whom the Saviour dy’d? 5 The Saviour dy’d, but rose again triumphant from the grave; And pleads our cause at God’s right hand, omnipotent to save. 6 Who then can e’er divide us more from Jesus and his love, Or break the sacred chain that binds the earth to heav’n above? 7 Let troubles rise, and terrors frown, and days of darkness fall; Through him all dangers we’ll defy, and more than conquer all. 8 Nor death nor life, nor earth nor hell, nor time’s destroying sway, Can e’er efface us from his heart, or make his love decay. 9 Each future period that will bless, as it has bless’d the past; He lov’d us from the first of time, he loves us to the last.

Behold what witnesses unseen encompass us around; Men, once like us, with suff’ring try’d, but now with glory crown’d. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspir’d, begin the Christian race, And, freed from each encumb’ring weight, their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a witness nobler still, who trod affliction’s path, Jesus, at once the finisher and author of our faith. 4 He for the joy before him set, so gen’rous was his love, Endur’d the cross, despis’d the shame, and now he reigns above. 5 If he the scorn of wicked men with patience did sustain, Becomes it those for whom he dy’d to murmur or complain? 6 Have ye like him to blood, to death, the cause of truth maintain’d? And is your heav’nly Father’s voice forgotten or disdain’d? 7 My son, saith he, with patient mind endure the chast’ning rod; Believe, when by afflictions try’d, that thou art lov’d by God. 8 His children thus most dear to him, their heav’nly Father trains, Through all the hard experience led of sorrows and of pains. 9 We know he owns us for his sons, when we correction share; Nor wander as a bastard race, without our Father’s care. 10 A father’s voice with rev’rence we on earth have often heard; The Father of our spirits now demands the same regard. 11 Parents may err; but he is wise, nor lifts the rod in vain; His chast’nings serve to cure the soul by salutary pain. 12 Affliction, when it spreads around, may seem a field of woe; Yet there, at last, the happy fruits of righteousness shall grow. 13 Then let our hearts no more despond, our hands be weak no more; Still let us trust our Father’s love, his wisdom still adore.
