The devil, people, or even our loved ones might point out all kinds of faults they may find in us, and we may be tempted to internalize them. But there’s One who’s opinion is more valuable than rubies or gold.
God declares us not guilty of sin. “All are justified freely by this grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3: 24
I don’t ever have to walk around with a cloud of condemnation on my head. “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1
I am a brand new person, different than the old sinful self. “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5: 17
We are blameless in His sight. “For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.” Ephesians 1: 4
I’m adopted as His dear child. “In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 1: 5
Don’t listen to anyone else’s opinion but God’s. His represents truth and the truth will set you free.
