Why should we look to Christ in times of shame and guilt?

In times of guilt, shame, or conviction, believers are to look solely to Christ and His righteousness. The sermon emphasizes that it is not our own records of righteousness that secure our standing before God, but the perfect atonement made by Jesus. When believers feel the weight of their sins, they must remember that the blood of Christ cleanses from all sin, granting them a perfect standing before God. This assurance not only alleviates the burden of guilt but also reaffirms their identity as those covered by Christ's righteousness.
