However, many have taken the truth that they are not good enough to earn their way to heaven and transferred it to “I’m not good enough-period.” But through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, and His power working in you and through you, you are good enough to do everything God has called you to do and be. Salvation is a gift of God (Ephesians 2:8). The Bible does say no one is good enough to earn his or her way into heaven (Romans 3:23). When we focus on our faults, we take our focus off God, who equips us the Holy Spirit, who empowers us and Jesus, who envelops us. The Enemy tries to get us to focus on our flaws rather than on our faith. It’s one of the Enemy’s favorite deceptions to hold God’s children hostage to a life that is “less than.” I’m not good enough is an insidious lie that keeps God’s best at bay for many of His children. But the root source of each one of those blanks is rooted in “I’m not good enough.” Period. You can fill in that blank with smart, talented, gifted, spiritual, outgoing, attractive, or any number of positive attributes.
