Guilt or Shame (TrueCrime,#12,2024.08.25)
In this episode, Scott continues the True Crime Series talking about the complex themes of guilt and shame within a biblical context. Scott discusses the uncomfortable feelings of shame that Christians might experience when standing up for Christ, especially in the face of societal pressure and opposition. He emphasizes the importance of serving Christ over seeking approval from others, and acknowledges the internal struggle between maintaining a positive reputation and being a bondservant of Christ. The episode also touches upon the need to return to the gospel during times of emotional turmoil and Scott highlights the significance of Christ's sacrifice in removing guilt and enabling believers to draw near to God with full assurance.
Scott also sheds light on the concept of biblical shame, distinguishing it from mere embarrassment or self-deprecation. He discusses instances where biblical shame should be felt, such as when engaging in actions that go against Christian principles. He emphasizes that the origin of shame can be traced back to the entry of sin into the world through Adam, further exacerbated by Satan's accusations. Scott also talks about the importance of employing the shield of faith, as mentioned in Ephesians 6, to deflect the fiery darts of doubt and accusation. He concludes by encouraging confession and trust in God's unwavering love and forgiveness.
