“At that catastrophic moment, the first two people ever created died in spirit, became sickened in body and soul, experienced a crippling sense of shame, and disconnected from each other and God. Life on earth went from being heavenly to being hellish.”
― Chris Thurman, The Lies We Believe: Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life

“Feelings of shame like that cannot coexist with the fact that God made us in His image.”

“Christ’s offer of peace and rest is certainly appealing, and the main way to experience both is to filter painful experiences through the same core beliefs Christ did. We can all find great comfort in the verse, “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” (Isaiah 26:3 NLT, emphasis added). If we want His rest and peace, we have to fix our minds on God and not our circumstances.”
