WE WILL NOT BE ASHAMED!

1 John 2:28  "And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming." 

 

What does this mean, that we will not be ashamed? The word ashamed in this Scripture in Greek is aischuno, which means shame. To have a feeling of fear or shame which prevents one from doing a thing.  Here it means a possibility of being ashamed before the Lord at His judgment seat. 

 

The great news is that we will not be ashamed because we abide in Him. When we abide in Him, we truly know Him. When we know Him, in turn, He knows us. We become one with Him.

 

Let's be encouraged today to be strong in our faith knowing that the Lord will never shame us. We are His children and He dearly loves us. Let's stand tall before the Lord as He defends and protects us!
