Shame is: “a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior” (Google). While Christ’s pain on the cross relieves us of our own painful humiliation before a holy God, we will still feel ashamed at times. We will feel disgusted by our own actions. Like other emotions, God has designs for shame to actually help us.
Genesis 3:7 (NLT) At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves.
What Shame Does:
Worldly shame covers and resents.
Godly shame confesses and repents. (see 2 Corinthians 7:10-11)
