Why Shame Is GOOD (According to the Bible)
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?
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.
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. You can find the link to the book below.
