How to overcome the guilt of sin

Sometimes, as strong believers, we find ourselves in the battle with sin during a weak moment, which eventually leads us to compromise our core values and sin against God. Instead of feeling condemned, the best way to handle our shortcomings is to simply acknowledge and confess (1 John 1:9). We all fall short of the glory of God, so instead of sitting in shame, be quick to confess to another trusted believer who can help you through your shortcomings.
