As sons and daughters of God we must move beyond the cross and accept who we have become due to the work of the cross, for it is FINISHED! Hebrews talks about the priesthood under the law and how it could not purge our consciousness of sin. Jesus did just that,  we must allow or believe this. Judgement is a big part of this. How do you judge yourself and why do you have these judgements? You see we make mistakes in life and we usually judge ourselves when we do, but do we judge correctly? Feelings of unworthiness, guilt or even shame can accompany many of these judgements. If your works could have earned your salvation then perhaps these judgements are justified, but if salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus then your works cannot undo what Jesus accomplished in you through the finished work of the cross. Did God lie when He said "Your sins I will remember no more."? Therefore Hebrews says that if we have been born again it would be impossible to be renewed again unto repentance. Why? Because Jesus paid the price ONCE and through the finished work of the cross, quickened my spirit out of darkness into the light making me a son of God, filled with the Holy Ghost and empowered me to walk in that divine nature which was the same nature in Jesus when He walked the Earth. Now I can work the works of God, because I have believed God and Christ concerning the work done in me. Jesus has given me His glory and I have been made one with Christ and the Father. So we are free to move out of the mentality of "one day it's going to happen" into the mentality of "I am" because He already did the work in me. It is easy to believe Jesus was the son of God and say that we fall short because He was who He was and I am not. But this is an illusion by  which we are actually denying who Christ says we are! Therefore I have been transformed into a son of God, full of the glory that was in Christ so that I may demonstrate the love of God the same way Christ did.
