How Faith in Christ Erases Shame and Doubt”
Romans 10:11 (KJV)For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, you will not be put to shame. You will have moments when the mountains look too big and the valleys appear too deep. You will face hardships and times when you may even feel uncertain, but you will always be victorious. In all moments of difficulty, suffering, and even death, Jesus Christ assures us we are more than conquerors.
Romans 8:37 (KJV)Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Jesus is faithful to keep His word.
1 Corinthians 1:9 (KJV)God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Remember, while we were still sinners, He died for us.
Romans 5:8 (KJV)But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
He did not abandon us; He gave His life for us. So, no matter where you are in life at this moment, know that if He was willing to die for you as a sinner, that alone should erase any doubt about the challenges you face now. You may have problems with your finances—perhaps your money flow isn’t enough. Maybe your marriage isn’t what you’d like it to be, or the results the doctor called you with aren’t the news you needed to hear. Maybe you feel like you’ve climbed one too many mountains, or perhaps the valleys have been so deep that you’ve decided to stay there. Whatever the case, Jesus said you will not be put to shame. He keeps His word when we fall short. He is our Lord and our Savior and will never forsake us. Jesus saw something in you when you couldn’t see it in yourself. He is never wrong. Believe in Him and trust in His perfect timing in your life. He is shaping something beautiful even when you cannot see it.
Reflective Questions:
• How many times have you doubted, and God still came through?
• Are you devoting enough of your time to God through prayer, fasting, and meditation?
• When trouble emerges, do you panic and forget God is on your side?
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I believe in the strength and power I have through Jesus Christ. I know that I struggle with worry and doubt, and I’m sorry. Help me with this. I believe I will not be brought to shame in any area of my life because of Your Son, Jesus. Whatever it is that causes me to doubt, reveal it to me and remove it from me, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
