Faith &Hope WORTHY!

“This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe…” - Romans 3:22

Feelings of low self-esteem, self-condemnation and unworthiness are common to many people. There may be many reasons for this such as: • Living in a negative environment. • Being on the receiving end of hurling insults, accusations and put-downs. • Being constantly compared to other people. • Perfectionism. • Falling short of people’s expectations for us. • The inability to rise above defeat. To feel unworthy is to the join the company of such saints as John the Baptist (Mark 1:7); the centurion (Luke 7:7), the lost son (John l5:21); Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Mother Teresa and Pope Francis. How do we get from here (unworthy) to there (worthy)? When we become believers and trust Christ alone for salvation, something mysterious and glorious happens. We actually take on the righteousness (goodness) of Christ. “For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness…” (Isaiah 61:l0). Ultimate righteousness is realized in heaven. “They will walk with me and wear white clothes, because they are worthy…” (Revelation 3:4). Christ died for you. Therefore, you are a person of worth! Prayer: In the words of the hymn writer, dear Lord, help all who believe to be “dressed in his righteousness alone, faultless to stand before (your) throne.” Peace to you and please join us for worship this Sunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived.
