Jeremiah 33:8

I will cleanse them from all their wickedness (guilt) by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon (forgive) all their sins by which they rebelled against me.

Turn away from sin. Sin brings torment, guilt, fear, and blindness to God’s Word because of a seared conscious. God will forgive us when we confess our sins. It helps to have a plan for avoiding sin before it occurs. When we make up our minds to follow Jesus no matter what, we will have a soft heart to the conviction of the Holy Spirit to avoid sin.
