Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. (Hebrews 2:11)
That verse sums up all of my theology.
I could never earn my way to heaven or deserve an afterlife. I could never deserve anything good in this life. But I don't have to deserve anything. I would rather just accept what God freely gives. Jesus is shame free and the love he gives is shame free. Shame isn't a Godly concept.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1)
We became ashamed of ourselves all on our own. Shame isn't a Godly concept.
