If people tell you that they accepted Christ because they felt guilty for his death, bring them to joy and tell them that the purpose of his death was not that they remain in their guilt, but rather be free from their guilt.
What they accepted wasn’t Christ, but rather the guilt for his death. No one in life will want to continue living, if all they’re breathing is guilt.
Joy, Christ died and was risen so that we might rejoice! The might of the Hope to be risen like him one day, the might of the Holy Spirit.
