The God Who is There

Freedom from the Guilt and Shame Trap

by Sara Bott

Jeremiah 3:3; Psalms 69:5; Romans 12:2; Galatians 5:8; Zephaniah 3:11

Summary

Guilt relates to specific actions we may wrongly commit, while shame is the negative defining of self. Shame is rooted in identity. God calls us to have humility and repentance for the wrong things we do, but he offers us freedom from having a life that is persistently defined by guilt and shame. In order to gain victory from this trap, we must assess the differences between positive shame and guilt and negative shame and guilt. Seeking freedom allows transformation, intimacy with God and others, and ownership of our new identity in Christ. This workshop includes several practical ways to help move away from the negative uses of guilt and shame.
