Forgiving Yourself

Many Christians accept God’s forgiveness in theory but continue to live in self-condemnation. In this sermon, Dr. Rocky Ramsey exposes the hidden damage caused by refusing to release ourselves from past sin — emotional imbalance, spiritual paralysis, false humility, and an inability to forgive others.

This message reveals that we are often more comfortable with old problems than with new solutions. We cling to shame because change feels threatening. But God never intended forgiven people to live like the condemned.

Through Psalm 103:8–14, we see the breathtaking reality of God’s grace: He is compassionate, just, loving without limits, and has removed our sins forever. Forgiveness is not based on what we do — but on what Christ has already done.

The path forward is clear:

• Admit the sin.

• Receive God’s grace.

• Bury the past.

• Leave it.

Our inability to forget does not have to imprison us — it can remind us to depend on grace, walk humbly, and extend mercy to others.
