Bible Question:
Recently, I had a conversation with an individual who declared that man's basic problem with his identity and self esteem lies in the fact that he is unwilling to believe in his own goodness. I'd appreciate some input on this "philosophy." Please support your comments with Scripture. Thanks! Blessings, mommapbs |
Bible Answer: Greetings my sister,mans problem isn't a problem with self esteem or self identity and I'm sure this is no recent revelation to you.Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick;Who can understand it? This is us apart from God.This is the old man.The world wants an easy Gospel,Cheap Grace.We as comitted disciples of Jesus know different.We know that our salvation cost God his dearest blood and without Jesus Christ we are lost.The non Christian by nature would prefer not to believe this.They would prefer that we preach a watered down soft shoed gospel.I'm OK your OK philosophy will never work. We must be loving but also uncompromising when it comes to preaching the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.Keep telling it like it is my sister. Love ya, lionheart |
