Fact Check, 9

~ Unworthy ~

Your Thinking  ~  I’m unworthy. 

God’s Answer  ~  God is in the process of sanctifying you (He is setting you apart—growing you—in righteousness).  During this process God sees you as He sees His only Son—as righteous.  During this process you are becoming more like your Savior.  It is as if you are covered from head to toe with Christ’s righteousness.  In a future day He will glorify you. 

“Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.  But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts” (Romans 13:13-14). 

“But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:20-24).

“For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.  For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ” (Galatians 3:26-27). 

“Since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him” (Colossians 3:9b-10).
