Question Of The Day Q. I understand salvation is by grace through faith alone ..... but deep down I still have this something that tells me I am not good enough or doing things right enough, or confessing enough, or confessing to the right people, or being a good enough Christian in any way that would please God or have Him do anything for me. I understand all you say and teach in my mind and in my heart, but deep down in my gut I still feel unworthy. Why is that? A. I get lots of questions like this and I try to post every one of them because its something we all need to hear over and over. Please understand, we are all unworthy. Thats why we need a Savior. You have doubts about your worthiness because youre afraid youre not doing enough of the right things. But nobody could ever do enough of the right things to satisfy Gods requirements. Because of that, God has given us given a righteousness that comes from Him solely because of our faith that when Jesus died on that cross He was dying in our place, paying the penalty for our sins. Our faith is the only thing that can ever make us worthy because weve all sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:21-24). Therefore that something telling you youre not good enough cant be from God, because in His eyes youve been made perfect forever (Hebrews 10:12-14) . Its from your enemy, who wants you to be filled with doubt about your salvation. He cant steal you away from God (John 10:27-30) so he tries to steal the joy of your salvation. But here are the facts. From Gods perspective when you were born again, you became a new creation in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17) without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless (Ephes. 5:27), as righteous as He is (2 Cor. 5:21). Praise the Lord! From Gracethrufaith.
