Reality TV: Cover Ups (Shame)

edge
“If the enemy cannot trap you in sin he will attempt to imprison you in shame.”

Romans 5:18 Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone. 19 Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.

Shame Hides:
Genesis 3:7-9 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?"

God Covers.
Genesis 3:21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife & clothed them.
1. It was Personal.
2. It was Prophetic
3. It Was Permanent.

Walking out of shame:
Luke 5:12-16 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" And immediately the leprosy left him. Then Jesus ordered him, "Don't tell anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them." Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

Walk in the light of forgiveness
Jesus doesn't simply cover, Jesus cleans.
1 John 1:7-9 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

All that Jesus did trumps what you did!
YOU ARE LOVED …..YOU ARE CLEAN!

Leave it! God forgets so you can forget it.
Micah 7:19 You will again have compassion on us;  you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

Keep gazing stop self-scrutinizing
Psalms 34: 5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
