I heard a Bible teacher once say, "The reason people are so miserable is because they can't stand themselves." How true that is. And I would add that if they only knew who they really were it would be a new day for them!
The Scriptures plainly speak of "who" a Christian really is. It has nothing to do with your actions or your particular job. It has everything to do with what Christ did for you.
If more Christians would accept who the Bible says that they are, their self worth would skyrocket! The Epistles point out that every born again Christian, in God's eyes, is acceptable, holy and without blame, a child of God, and cannot be separated from His love!
The Bible teaches that Christians have already been made righteous. But, sadly, so many times religion focuses on sin and condemnation which makes people feel unworthy. This leaves Christians with a low self-image and very little self worth.
You are not what you do!
Even when we fall short and sin, we are still righteous in God's eyes. And what so many fail to realize is that what you really believe about yourself has a dynamic effect on your success in all areas of your life.
So whether you have a good day or a bad day; whether you are a major league pitcher or you've just declared bankruptcy, just remember that in God's eyes, you are special, you belong, you are His dear child and He made you righteous!
