Rescued from Shame

Pastor Nate

Sin is failure. Missing the mark. Not being in God’s goodness. Our lives get marked with shame.

Genesis 2:25

Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame

Genesis 3:6-12

They gained the knowledge of shame

Our knowledge is distorted by sin

How do we diagnose our own shame and regret?

God knows our hearts

Uncleanness. Spiritual, required a priest to make clean. Priests represented God’s cleansing touch.

Jesus took our shame on himself. He lived in human shame.

Isaiah 53:3-5 📖

Psalm 51:1-2

We begin with God’s mercy and compassion

Cleanse: means “de-fail” “de-shame” “de-regret”

A reversal

God desires to create a new person. Removes the dynamics of shame, also.

Psalm 51-10-12
