There’s nothing we can do to earn salvation; it’s a gift, and one we ought to be sharing with the rest of the world.
We will sin, no matter how long we’ve been Christians, how many years we’ve been baptized, how often we attend church. So how are we supposed to deal with it?
We have to acknowledge our sin and guilt to receive salvation.
Shame changes us, hollows us out. But shame is not what God desires for our lives.
