Regret vs Shame
In dealing with addiction, the following point was made in our meeting:
There is a difference between regret and shame. We should always regret our sinful actions, but we shouldn’t forever live in shame.
Here’s why:
If shame comes from guilt.
If guilt comes from sin.
If sin is forgiven.
Then guilt is removed.
If guilt is removed.
Then shame is gone.
Don’t wallow in your shame, but do regret your sin.
