If Jesus Christ was who He claimed to be and He did die on a cross at a point of time in history then for all history past and all history future it is relevant because that is the very focal point for forgiveness and redemption.
God's forgiveness allows us to be honest with ourselves. We recognize our imperfections admit our failures and plead to God for clemency.
Forgiveness to the injured does belong but they ne'er pardon who have done wrong.
We cannot embrace God's forgiveness if we are so busy clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges.

I did a lot of things that I regretted and I certainly paid for my mistakes. You have to go and ask for forgiveness and it wasn't until I really started doing good and doing right by other people as well as myself that I really started to feel that guilt go away.
