Good Enough

Tuesday, September 17, 2013   9:14pm

It all comes back to the essential question: will I ever be good enough?
I think this may be the root of my anxiety.  Forever fearing that I won’t be good enough, that I won’t measure up.  

Biblically, what is the answer to this question?  

I think the answer is no. I will never be “good enough” on my own because NOTHING I do could ever make me good enough.  Only the blood of a lamb without blemish could make me “good enough”. 

What’s the good news in all of this?

The good news is that I have a kinsman-redeemer.  I have a Savior.  I am clothed in the righteousness of Christ.  His “good enough” covers my “never good enough”.  God looks at me and sees Christ’s “good enough”.  He sees His sweet Son Jesus dying on the cross, so that I can appear in His glorious presence, robed in “good enough”.  We are robed in righteousness, but this righteousness is not of ourselves, so no one can boast.  Rather it is in CHRIST.
