Do You Feel Unworthy of God?
Do You Feel Unworthy of God?
A good while ago I tried to address the issue of people feeling unworthy of God the Father. Here I give a more concise answer, which I believe is grounded in the whole tenor of Scripture.
We are NOT supposed to feel worthy! Jesus Christ is worthy. It is His sacrifice of Himself that gives us the right and the privilege to come boldly unto the throne of grace. It it His blood, His worthiness, His holiness, His intercession and His power to transform our hearts that we must trust for our salvation.
That being said, HE does make us worthy by forgiving us and washing away our sins. Then by His grace, we are enabled to live a holy life before Him. IF we have a sense of unworthiness because of current sins, we MUST repent and receive His forgiveness and deliverance FROM those sins. "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." 1John 2:1-2
It is His will that we live free from sinning (born again experience delivers from sins) and free from the inward bent to sin (purification of the heart). "That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life." Luke 1:74-75
