No Shame - Romans 5:5

Romans 5:5 ESV 
and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Our faith in Christ finds its assurance in the presence of the Holy Spirit. That confirmation is through the word and is experienced in the life we have received. 

The splendor and glory of God is referenced when we refer to Jesus as the word of God. The love of God is made manifest in us through the Holy Spirit.  The living water flows to us and through us, and is given freely without end. 

We become part of that splendor and glory. Jesus was the exact image of God and He shares that righteousness with His brothers and sisters. Clothed as such we approach God with no shame.
