began studying His Word on a regular basis, I was
unable to change my behavior and have peace and joy
in my life. And as I grew closer to God and came to
trust His love for me, I got a revelation that I can feel
right about myself because I’ve been made right with
God through the blood of Jesus – not because of the
things I do that are right.
We seem to think it’s a “holy” thing to feel down
about ourselves. But God wants us to feel good about
ourselves and have a healthy, positive view of ourselves
because He created us, He loves us and His plans for us
are good. If we don’t believe we have value or the abil-
ity to do anything well, we won’t have the confi dence
to do the great things He has in store for our lives.
Now, I’m not talking about being prideful or being
“in love” with yourself. When you experience God’s
love, it’s a very humbling thing that fi lls your heart
with gratitude for all He’s done for you. You know that
He is the source of every good thing in your life, and
you want to live out His purpose and plans for you in
response to His love.
The best way to break out of an ungodly mindset
about yourself is to know who you are in Christ. Jesus
shed His blood and died on the cross so you can be
forgiven of your sin and have a personal relationship
with God. His sacrifi ce makes you right with God and
gives you access to everything He is so you can grow
in your faith and develop the character of Christ in your
thoughts, words, attitudes and behaviors.
Scripture says that we inherit the promises of God
through faith and patience (Hebrews 6:12). Sometimes
we have to believe God’s Word for a while before we
see it fulfi lled in our lives. But if we will be determined
not to give up and to trust that God will do everything
He says He will do, then we will become what He has
destined us to be!
I really want you to get this today, because if you
base your worth and value on what you do, you will
be an insecure, unstable, unhappy person. That is NOT
God’s will for you. God knows you are not perfect and
you don’t do everything right all the time. But as you
see yourself the way He sees you – as His workman-
ship, recreated in Christ Jesus to do good works that He
predestined you to do (Ephesians 2:10) – you’ll pro-
duce more and more right behavior because it’s who
you are in Him. You’ll enjoy the inheritance you have
through Christ: peace, righteousness, security and tri-
umph over opposition!
