       I know we have been taught to think bad of ourselves because of all the sin that resides in us, that is, in our flesh. But we need to see ourselves how God see us, and that is perfect in Christ, made righteous by his blood, as we discussed the first week of this series. If we are constantly thinking bad about ourselves, we aren’t going to advance very far in life. If we are continuing to focus on our failures instead of the things that we do right, we are going to be downtrodden and unmotivated to do much of anything. It is written in 1 Corinthians 1:30, 31: “And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord” (ESV). Jesus has made us right with God, and we should live in that truth. We have righteousness, sanctification, and redemption from God, and we ought to live like we do. We shouldn’t be living feeling unrighteous, unwashed, and unredeemed.
