Through Christ We Have Absolutely No Shame

And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are One.” John 17:22

“As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.” Romans 9:33

On our own we would always be ashamed! We can’t stand before God, even if we never sinned, and not be ashamed of ourselves. However, we can stand before God, our Father, without any shame. We can because as we stand before Him, we stand as His children, born of Him, born from His seed, glorified and righteous because of what Jesus has done for us. We are sanctified by Jesus’ actions and we are glorified with His glory. We never stand before our Father alone, Jesus is with us and One in us. We can be unashamed because we have the Holy Spirit within us and He lets us know beyond any shadow of a doubt that God is not ashamed of us!

“For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.” Romans 10:11 We are eternally free from condemnation and the shame of falling short! We are now strong in the power of Jesus’ might because greater is He that is within us, than the shame that is in the world! Today is the day of our glorious salvation and now is our appointed time of righteousness and true holiness through Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
