1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears we may have confidence and not shrink from Him in shame at His coming.

If Jesus came back now, would you be ashamed? Would you look at your life and think about your behavior and feel bad about what you’ve been doing? If so, you need to change your position.

Here’s the thing, we all have something we can feel ashamed about. But it’s a choice to take on that shame. When we position ourselves in Christ and take on His righteousness and not our own, we’ll never be ashamed. We’ll see our forgiveness in Christ, we’ll see our righteousness in Christ, and we’ll see our holiness in Christ.

When we take our position in Christ, we’ll understand that shame can’t stand up against what Christ has done for us.

Allow the Holy Spirit to work on you to change certain behaviors that don’t honor God. At the same time, realize we’ll never be perfect in our own strength. Perfection with no shame comes from positioning ourselves in Christ.
