Your initial thought to this starting place might be: “Really Josh? Focus on the seriousness of sin? I am well aware of how bad my sin is and already feel guilty and downcast.”

That may be true, but if we use Psalm 51 as a template for our own repentance and confession of sin we see David saying:

In the right proportion it is good for us to call to mind the seriousness of sin. I fear we often have heavy thoughts about how bad sin is morally. How it might hurt others or ourselves. But do we lament over the fact that our sin is against God himself? Your sin is a statement of "I do not care about you or your authority over me". You scream that in God’s face every-time you sin.  "You're not Lord over me, I am!" To the God who has only done you good.

Be careful that you are grieved over sin because it is against God and not just because it has consequences that make you feel bad. All true repentance and confession stem from hatred of sin, not guilt. It is only in seeing the ugliness of sin that we can see the beauty of forgiveness.

Satan tempts you after sin too. He tempts you to be discouraged. To assume God hates you. To believe you are without hope. It’s healthy to feel a bit of discomfort in seeing how serious our sin truly is, but the aim of seeing that is to drive us to Christ all the more. Not to drive us away from Him.

Consider 2nd Corinthians 7:10: “And now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance… Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation.”

A sorrow for the seriousness of sin is good as long as it leads you to God, not away from God. The key is reminding yourself of the Gospel.

The question is, what state were you in when Christ died for you? Good? Perfect? Holy? No! You were “weak” and “ungodly”. There was nothing in you drawing the affections of God. He wasn’t up there going “oh, that person is really strong and has been holy for 50 days, maybe we should offer grace.” No, everything in you was screaming “I’m broken and I deserve death”. Remember the seriousness of sin?

But the point of Romans 5 is that it was while you were in the state of weak and ungodly when Christ said “I will die for them”. God looked at you at your worst and said “I want them and I will pay the price to cleanse them, love them, and forgive them even if it costs me my life.”
