Spiritual life without guilt would be like physical life without pain.  Guilt is a defense mechanism; it’s like an alarm that goes off to lead you to confession when you sin.
John MacArthur

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.  And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
Malachi 3:10
The English Standard Version
