Biblical Answer

What if I'm not worthy? This is a question that many of us have asked at some point in our lives. We feel that we have failed, that we have made mistakes, and that we are not good enough. But the Bible tells us that we are not defined by our worthiness or lack thereof. In fact, our worthiness is not something that we can earn or achieve on our own. Instead, it is something that is given to us by God through His grace and redemption.

When we think that we are not worthy, we often look to others to validate our worth. We seek their approval and acceptance, and we try to earn their love and respect. But this approach is flawed. As the Bible says, "You will never satisfy" (Psalm 106:15). We can never measure up well enough to others, and we can never get enough of what we want from them. Furthermore, when we seek validation from others, we become a servant to what they think, rather than living for what God thinks. This is not the life that God has called us to. Instead, we are called to live a life that is defined by our relationship with Him, not by our worthiness or lack thereof.

So, what does it mean to be worthy in God's eyes? The Bible tells us that we are worthy because of who God is, not because of who we are. As the apostle Paul says, "This I said, not meaning that anyone could be worthy through his own merit, but by the grace of God in regenerating the heart and working true repentance for sin in it" (Romans 3:20). In other words, our worthiness is not based on our own efforts or achievements, but on God's grace and redemption. When we put our trust in Jesus Christ and accept His gift of salvation, we are clothed in His righteousness and declared to be worthy. This is a truth that the world around us does not understand, but it is a truth that sets us free to live a life that is defined by our relationship with God, not by our worthiness or lack thereof.
