These are a few of our favorite SINS: Shame & Belovedness (Lent 1)

Once you believe that Jesus is Lord, it doesn’t matter who you are; it doesn’t matter what you’ve done; it doesn’t matter what has been done to you. 

Nothing about who you were matters anymore; through grace alone, when you believe that Jesus is Lord, you are claimed by God in the waters of your baptism. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, God forgives you. And he calls you his own.

As a new creation, God doesn’t hold your sin against you any longer … so why are you still holding your own sin against yourself?
