The most important choice you and I can make in life is what we are going to do about our guilt.

Main message: We must decide how to deal with our guilt before God: either keep trying to pay for sin or accept God's personal gift of forgiveness. Accepting that gift is presented as the way to avoid eternal consequences.

Key points:

• Everyone has real guilt before God that needs addressing.
• The crucial life choice is what we will do about that guilt.
• One option is to continue on our own and face eternal payment for sin.
• The other option is to accept God's individual gift of forgiveness.
• Forgiveness from God removes the need to "pay" for sin.
