Dear friend,
Feeling unworthy? The source of this feeling can be varied. Some, aware of their many deficiencies, cannot stop being disappointed in themselves. Others, live or work in the proximity of someone who is always quick to point out their faults.
Here is some good scripture medicine for the Christian who feels like a loser:
“If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies? Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died - more than that, who was raised - who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us!” (Romans 8:31-34).
Christian friend, next time you are convinced of your unworthiness, next time your conscience condemns you, or next time another person charges you with shortcoming, remember the words above. If you have faith in Jesus, then you are approved, welcomed, accepted, and loved in the court of Heaven. Jesus himself has declared before the throne of the Almighty that you are more than okay!
Your servant,
Stephen
