Shame is one of the most paralyzing forces in the human soul — it whispers that we are not just people who have done wrong things, but that we are wrong, fundamentally flawed at our core. This chapter confronts that lie with the truth of the gospel.

3.Romans 8:1 declares 'there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' What would need to change in your daily emotional life if you truly believed that? What would you stop doing? What would you start doing?
