What a beautiful truth. Earlier in his letter to the Romans, Paul also wrote this astounding truth: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ” (Romans 8:1). Because of what Jesus did on the cross for us—taking our sin, rising back to life, and inviting us to live in the new life—we can know that shame is not of God. When you sin and shame slides in, reject it. The internal voice you’re hearing is not of God. He’s not condemning you. Instead, turn to Him. Talk to Him about what happened. Bring the thoughts of shame to Him. Ask Him to remind you of what’s true.
What’s true is that you have the righteousness of Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). What’s true is that there’s no condemnation for you (Romans 8:1). What’s true is that you are deeply loved and your sin did not separate you from God’s love, no matter how bad it was (Romans 8:38-39). When you sin, don’t let the shame that might slide in turn you away from God. It’s not from Him. Instead, turn to Him. When you come to Him lowly, He will remind you of what’s true. Let Him and His truth lift your chin so you walk on unashamed, head held high as His much-loved child.

We’ll look at how a healthy identity rooted in who God is will keep us strong, vibrant, and grounded no matter what comes our way.
