It is human to feel guilty of our evil deeds against our fellow men such as to expect what is deserving of us. The brothers of Joseph still felt a strong guilt in their hearts, thinking that Joseph’s forgiveness was on a temporal basis because of the presence of their father. The guilt and fear rekindled in them as Jacob (their father) died. However, God who moves in the hearts of men can cause men to act according to His dictates. Joseph assured them not to fear because he is not God, in essence implying that vengeance is God's prerogative (Romans 12:19; Hebrews 10:30). Joseph’s heart was taken over by the Holy Spirit. You see, that which we fear can be taken away by God. All we need do is sincerely repent of our ungodly deeds, seek reconciliation from fellow men, and pray for God’s forgiveness, fear not of guilt but faith in God.

God’s Promise for You

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

2 Corinthians 5:17

From: His-Legate - 2Cor. 5:20
