Its amazing how often religion gets its hooks into us. Here are some questions that I have found a challenge this week as I have thought about just that issue:
1.I obey God because…
a.then God will give me things.
b.it delights God and mirrors his character.
2.When I am criticised by others I…
a.am furious and, or, devastated because I think of myself as a good person.
b.Struggle, but it is not critical to think of myself as a good person. My identity is built on God’s love for me in Christ.
3.My identity and self worth are based on…
a.how hard I work, how moral I am or how others perceive me to be. I am prone to swing between pride and feeling like a failure.
b.Christ who died to save me because of the grace of God. I am so bad that he had to die for me and I am so loved that he was glad to die for me. I live in the light of that grace.
