    Can Jesus Forgive What You Can’t Forget? (Forgiveness) | S06 E02

    You may believe God has forgiven you and still feel ashamed of what you did. When the memory comes back and the guilt feels just as heavy, you may wonder whether Jesus really paid for all of it. In this episode of the Simple Truth Podcast, Ted Ross walks through what Scripture says about forgiveness, guilt, and the blood of Jesus Christ. Through passages including Colossians 2:13–14, 1 John 1:7–9, Hebrews 8:12, Romans 8, and Psalm 103, you’ll see why forgiveness is not something you earn by suffering, feeling guilty, or trying to make up for your past. Jesus paid the price, and God calls you to receive His gift of grace by faith. You’ll also learn why guilt can still feel real after forgiveness and how to respond when your own thoughts—or accusations from the enemy—keep bringing the past back. Why Jesus’ sacrifice was enough to forgive and cleanse sin.How to tell the difference between conviction and condemnation.Why your feelings do not get to overrule what God has said.How to answer accusations with Scripture instead of replaying the past.Why repentance and making things right are responses to grace—not payments for forgiveness.Listen to the full episode and consider this question: Are you still punishing yourself for something Jesus has already paid for? Learn how to answer the past with God’s truth and keep moving forward in faith. 🌐 Learn more & access free resources: https://SimpleTruth.org 📺 Subscribe for weekly audio episodes ▶️ Watch the full episode on video: Simple Truth YouTube 📱 Follow on Instagram: @SimpleTruth.Podcast ⭐ Enjoyed this episode?

    What Did Jesus Set You Free From? (Redemption) | S06 E01

    You can love Jesus, want to obey God, and still feel pulled back toward the same sin you thought you had left behind. That struggle can make you wonder: If Jesus set me free, why do I still feel trapped? In this episode, Ted Ross explains what redemption through the blood of Jesus really means and how Christ’s sacrifice frees us from sin’s penalty and bondage. Jesus gave His life as a ransom, paying the price we could never pay ourselves. But being redeemed does not mean every old desire, temptation, or habit disappears immediately. Jesus breaks sin’s mastery, and then we learn to live in the freedom He has already purchased. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why wanting to change is not the same as being able to free yourselfWhat it means that Jesus paid your ransomWhy old temptations can remain even after you have been redeemedWhy sin is no longer your masterHow to put off old patterns, renew your thinking, and practice a new responseHow passages such as Romans 6, Ephesians 1, and Hebrews 9 help explain redemption and freedom through Christ When an old habit or temptation tries to take control again, remember what Jesus has already done. You have been redeemed. Sin does not own you. Identify one habit that still tries to rule you. When it appears, turn your attention back to God through Scripture, prayer, and praise, and begin practicing a response that reflects who you are now in Christ. Live from the freedom Jesus already purchased for you through His blood. 🌐 Learn more & access free resources: https://SimpleTruth.org 📺 Subscribe for weekly audio episodes ▶️ Watch the full episode on video: Simple Truth YouTube 📱 Follow on Instagram: @SimpleTruth.Podcast ⭐ Enjoyed this episode?

    When you were born again, what actually changed? Many Christians know the Bible says they are a new creation, but they still wrestle with old habits, desires, thoughts, and struggles.
