Shame

Romans 6:23; Genesis 3:8-11

There is a consequence to sin: shame.  Just as Adam and Eve hid from God after their sin, so do we like to hide our actions from others – family, friends, co-workers and God.  There is punishment for sin and God has provided us with a payment; Christ has paid the punishment for all sin, for everyone, for all time.  In exchange for that payment we get eternal life with God.  As long as our sin is hidden, there is no relief from that shame. Acknowledging and accepting God’s gift of eternal life, because of what Jesus did, frees us from shame.


Questions for further thought:
1. Have you accepted Jesus’ payment for your sin?

2. Have you received the gift of eternal life?
