Guilt

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 ESV)

There are two types of guilt.
  1. Subjective guilt - feelings of guilt (look who you have hurt)
  2. Objective guilt - actual guilt of an offence (God is going to get you for that)
A person’s objective guilt is far more important than his subjective experience of it. The objective guilt has been removed by Christ's propitiation. The grace of God destroys the guilt of sin.

He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 John 2:2 ESV)
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1 ESV)
