WORTH
How does knowing God affect my sense of self-worth?



Scripture To Consider:

A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God.
1 Corinthians 11:7

And to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:24

Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
Romans 12:3



Big T's Thought To Ponder:

We must remember His glorious truth, the same truth that has been in existence since the creation of the world. We were created by the Creator of the universe and in His perfect image and we were by Divine design created with certain Godly characteristics that we must stand in as our basis for our self-worth, our significance, our complete acceptance and our eternal security!


Our self-worth and the worth of all mankind is not based from a fallen world perspective; it is not based on our social status, it is not based on our political views, nor it is not based on our material possessions, our bank balance or annual salary, our achievements, our physical attractiveness or what we do for a living. It is solely determined and based on how we were Divinely created in the image of Christ Jesus, the Savior of the world... and God doesn't make junk!


Likewise, degrading your self-concept or thinking less of your self-worth would be like criticizing what God Almighty has created; and this would be in complete disbelief of what God has clearly told us to believe about ourselves and the abilities He blessed each of us.

We must remember that we are His Workmanship, His Masterpieces, His Precious Pearls! Yes, you and I are made in the very image of God but we owe everything we are to Him, this keeps our self-worth and self-concept in a health balance and in alignment with God's Word.

God's Truth and Promises:

We must rest in the truths of who God our Creator says we are; not the lies that the world of Satan would have us believe we are. We can never measure our weigh ourselves by worldly means, the world is contaminated and its measuring devices are distorted and Thousands of years out of calibration by God's Sovereign and Divine Compliance. Use the Eternal and Everlasting God as a means to measure who you are and what your self-worth is!



1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - "I have been bought with a price and I belong to God..."

Colossians 2:9-10 - "I am complete in Christ..."

Philippians 3:20 - "Our citizenship is in heaven..."

Ephesians 1:3-8 - "I have been chosen by God and adopted as His child..."

Colossians 1:13-14 - "I have been redeemed and forgive of all my sins..."

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 - "I have been established, anointed and sealed by God..."

Ephesians 2:6 - "I am seated with Jesus Christ in the heavenly realm..."

Measure Your Self-Worth By The Truth Of God, Not the Lies Of Satan!
