Our “good enough” comes from Him and through Him. We will never be able to atone for our own sins. What that means is we can stop trying to attain an impossible standard. As Jesus told the rich young ruler, only God is good. All of us are on equal standing at the foot of the cross.īut there is good news. If that discourages you let me point out that none of us are good enough. It will be based on the fact that we’re sinful beings and none of our actions will ever make us good enough. Now I want to warn you, the Bible will confirm that you’re not good enough but it won’t be based on any slippery scale. Instead of basing it on what the world says, base it on what God says. How do you believe you are enough? The key to changing the belief that you’re not good enough is to change the standards you use to measure yourself. How do you stop thinking you’re not good enough? What is considered beautiful in one generation does not always transcend to the next. What one family considers exceptional performance may be sub-par in another. Performance standards are first, culture-driven and then set by individual families. The problem lies in the fact that oftentimes the standards that are used to judge are constantly shifting. When something is considered not good enough, it means that it’s not up to an expected standard.
