In God's eyes, being ashamed of Him or His teachings has significant consequences. According to Mark 8:38 and Luke 9:26, Jesus warns that those who are ashamed of Him will be disowned by Him before the Father. The apostle Paul writes in Romans 1:16 that he is not ashamed of the gospel, demonstrating a willingness to boldly proclaim it. In 2 Timothy 2:15, Paul encourages believers to be diligent in their study and presentation of Scripture, and Hebrews 10:26 warns of the dangers of willfully sinning after receiving knowledge of the truth, which can lead to a state of shame and separation from God.
