Why a Holy God Delights to Claim Broken People as His FamilyChristians belong to God’s own family. This promise is difficult for some people to believe, and even for some believers to remember in their day-to-day struggles with shame or regret. But it’s repeated throughout the Bible, reflected in Christ’s genealogy, and true of the church today; God’s family is filled with broken people whose stories are a testament to his staggering love.In He Is Not Ashamed, Erik Raymond takes a close look at the “family portrait” of God―filled with imperfect people throughout Scripture―and shows that God is not repelled by anyone’s shameful past, but delights to redeem and receive those who believe in him. Studying Hebrews 2:11 and other passages in both the Old and New Testaments, Raymond shows that Jesus’s heart is bent toward those who have an embarrassing history, feel far from God, or struggle with sin. By studying God’s abounding love for undeserving people, Christians learn to accept his grace and confidently embrace their place in God’s family portrait.Explores Redemptive History: Walks through stories from the Bible, including Jacob the deceiver, Rahab the prostitute, and the “sinful woman” in the book of Luke to reveal patterns of God’s graceFaith-Building Resource: Helps Christians reject shame and have a greater sense of Christ’s mercy
