Why Shame Is GOOD (According to the Bible)
TheologyJeremy
In today's video, we dive deep into a topic that might seem counterintuitive at first—why shame is GOOD. Just like physical pain alerts us to something wrong in our bodies, shame serves as a moral indicator when we've gone astray. But in a culture that often encourages us to eliminate shame, how should we, as believers, really approach it?<br />
<br />
We'll explore the Biblical perspective on shame, drawing from passages like 1 Corinthians 6:3-6 and 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15, where Paul teaches that shame, when experienced rightly, plays a crucial role in our spiritual lives. However, it's not about living in perpetual guilt—there's hope and freedom for those who repent and believe in Christ.<br />

If you’ve ever wondered whether feeling shame is something to avoid or embrace, this video is for you. And if you're struggling with ongoing shame even after repentance, I recommend the book Shame Interrupted by Dr. Edward Welch, a trusted biblical counselor.
