Lies We Believe About Ourseleves

Intro- the misprinted bible

What we believe about God will ultimately determine what we think about ourselves.

“Often what we believe about God says more about us than it does about God. Our theology is like a mirror to the soul. It shows us what’s deep inside.”

-John Mark Comer

Two big lies

You are not good enough.

You are not _________ enough.

You are perfect the way you are and do not need to change.

Romans

The New International Version (Chapter 3)

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

Ephesians

New Living Translation (Chapter 4)

21 Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.

Colossians

The New International Version (Chapter 3)

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

Mark

The New International Version (Chapter 8)

Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

Matthew

New Living Translation (Chapter 18)

“I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Every single one of us needs to change if we want to follow Jesus.

We believe lies like we aren’t good enough. We are not wanted.

You are not good enough.

You are not _________ enough.

Psalm

The New International Version (Psalm 139)

13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,I know that full well.15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Luke

New Living Translation (Chapter 12)

6 “What is the price of five sparrows—two copper coins? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. 7 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.

Matthew 6.....dont worry…look at the lillies

Go back to the garden.....You were created in His image.

You are special book by Max Lucado

God doesn’t make mistakes, only masterpieces.

You are not what others think or say about you. You are not your greatest successes or your most epic failures. You are not your looks, brains, or talents.

You are God’s child, created by love, for love. You are His special creation. You

Come back to the old bible

To God you will always be worth it.
