Freedom from Guilt and Shame

Guilt and shame change the way we see ourselves. Guilt and shame can lead to an identity crisis. Remember, guilt says “I did a really bad thing” and enough guilt can lead to shame, which says “I am a bad person.” When we’re living with shame and constantly believing “I am a bad person” we eventually stop believing that we are the image of God. We stop believing that we are who He says we are. - Pastor Ryan Martinez
