We are free from shame because Christ is victory

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The greatest victory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail."

I don't know if Ralph was follower, but what he said can applies to the biblical truth.

Christ is victory, not because we don't disappoint Him, but because through Christ, who strengthens us, we overcome sin. We no longer the slave of work and laws, we are free from sin, even though we fail again.

This is called grace!

One way to show if we really receive this grace, is that we don't abuse grace. This motivation is based on love: God loves us, and He gave us mercy and grace; we received the grace and we transformed from shameful to free. Because we were shameful and now is free, with no condition, we want to response His love by living a God-pleasing life.

If you are living life with this attitude, praise God, because you truly received grace. What you do may not be seems successful in the world, but you is already rewarded in heaven.
