What does the Bible say about shame?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible identifies shame as a painful consequence of sin, while assuring believers that they will not be put to shame if they trust in Christ.

Shame is a deep and painful feeling that arises from the awareness of sin and guilt. The Bible first mentions shame in Genesis 2, where Adam and Eve were naked and unashamed before the fall, indicating a state of innocence. However, after their disobedience, they experienced shame for the first time, demonstrating the intrinsic connection between shame and sin. In contrast, Romans 10:11 promises that 'whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.' This affirms that those who place their trust in Jesus Christ for salvation will not face the shame associated with their sins because Christ has borne that shame on our behalf through His sacrificial death.
