Boast in Him

Last night, as we spent time in celebration, I was reminded how truly needy I really am for a savior. How I am not competent enough, smart enough, righteous enough, enthusiastic enough, or wise enough to earn my way into God’s favor. In fact, regardless of the personal victories I have seen, I am still a sorry, depraved and horrific example of creation. With all the self-esteem building out of the way let me say this, this is the beauty of the cross, I am not good enough nor does God expect me to be. If he expected me to be good enough he would not have come down to die for me. He gave me the law to see how much I fall short and how much I need a savior like Him to fix my wicked heart. Here are a couple of neat Bible verses to chew on this week as we get ready to complete the series on the 12 steps.

Jeremiah 9:23-24

Galatians 6:14

2 Corinthians 5:21
