We need guilt because… 1. Society cannot exist w/o it. Jg It drives people to salvation. Mt.9:12 3. Those who deny guilt deceive them- selves. Ro.6:23 4. Death is the great reminder. 1 Co. 15:56-57

When death loses its sting 1 Co.15: The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of law, sin (Ro.4:15) Because of sin, death (Ro.6:23) Forgiveness removes sting (1 Jn.1:9)

Ac.24:24-25 Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, “Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you” – Ac.24:25 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse – Ro.1:20 Denial? Justification?
