Feeling shamed

It is said that when we sin, we should also feel ashamed. When we experience the emotion of shame, it means that we still have our conscience with us. We should immediately turn away from sin and turn to God confessing what we have done wrong.

It is also said that when we sin, we may not experience the emotion of shame. This is because we have never received Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour and been born again. As we have not received the Holy Spirit within us, we do not have the new nature that comes through salvation. (2 Corinthians 5 : 17)


Zephaniah 3:5.
The LORD is righteous in her midst, He will do no unrighteousness. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He never fails, but the unjust knows no shame.

Hosea 4:7.
The more they increased, the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.
