He Sets Us Free

Shame is an emotion that seems to weigh heavily on many people’s minds and hearts. They feel ashamed for things they’ve done, or haven’t done, and don’t know how to have a clean conscience. But the good news is that God’s salvation never puts us to shame. The Bible says of God, “Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame.”

You may have committed some terrible fraud, or your family has broken apart, or you’ve been unfaithful, and you feel horrendously guilty, and you feel perhaps rejected by God. No matter what, you can still know for sure that God will never put you to shame. Instead, He offers you His love and forgiveness, if you are truly repentant.

A story that illustrates this truth is in the Gospel of Luke. A woman was caught in adultery by the religious leaders of that day. They brought her to Jesus and wanted to stone her. They said to Him, “We caught this woman in the very act of adultery – what do you say?” And Jesus looked at her with love and said, “I don’t condemn you. Go and sin no more.”

So no matter what your past may be, Jesus doesn’t condemn or judge you. He wants to set you free. He offers you forgiveness and eternal life. Will you repent and receive Christ?
