The Father looks at you and he sees a treasure. To the degree you live in consciousness of that, to that degree you are free from shame for anything in your past. You are free from what people say. Otherwise, you’re taking your identity from what people say about you and how you’re doing, and so you’re up and down. At night you toss in bed because somebody snubbed you. The next day you’re elated because you did well. But if Christ is risen and you have put your faith in him, you are not in your sins.
