For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” (Romans 10:11 ESV)
Shame
Regret for past actions, thoughts, and attitudes is not shame.
Awareness of a tendency to sin in particular ways is not shame.
A desire to make restitution, regardless of time passage, is not shame.
Shame is continuing to feel guilt after God’s forgiveness. Shame is adding more guilt to what has been forgiven by God. Shame is equating past sin with present forgiven self.
Before God, because (and ONLY because) of Christ’s work, Christians have no shame. Shame makes no sense, if we are forgiven.
Before other people, because (and ONLY because) of Christ’s work, Christians have no need for shame. Shame makes no sense if we are forgiven.
Even in self-reflection, because (and ONLY because) of Christ’s work, Christians have no need for shame. Shame makes NO sense if we are forgiven.
Believe in the Lord, and shame has no foundation.
