KNOWING WHO YOU ARE "IN CHRIST"
"I pray that the faith you share will make you understand every blessing we have in Christ."
Phm 1:6 ERV
KNOWING WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST
If you are struggling with self-worth, the answer is knowing what you have and who you are "In Christ." Paul writes, "I pray that...you understand every blessing we have in Christ." Here are some practical steps you can take to increase your sense of confidence and self-worth: (1) Don't speak negatively about yourself, instead of focusing on your weakness and flaws, start acknowledging and verbalizing every good thing you "have in Christ." Peter writes: By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received this by coming to know him...he has given us great and precious promises. These...promises...enable you to share his divine nature" (2Pe 1:3-4 NLT). (2) Avoid comparing yourself to others. One day Peter pointed to John and asked, "Lord, what about him?" (Jn 21:21 NIV). Jesus corrected him by saying, "What is that to you? You must follow me" (v. 22 NIV). Instead of comparing yourself to others, work on being conformed to the character qualities of Christ. (3) Let God determine your worth. As His redeemed child, God sees you clothed in the righteousness of Christ, therefore, you are always loved and accepted by Him (See 2Co 5:21). (4) Keep your flaws in perspective. It's okay to see where you need to improve, but make sure you appreciate your progress. (5) Discover the true source of confidence. If you place your confidence in God, you can't help but have a healthy attitude. So, do your best to leave the results to Him.
