Lift Up Your Head
The world tells us to find our self-esteem, but as Christians, we find our worth in Christ and what He has done. We can lift our heads with Christ-esteem!
Guest (Male): Open the Bible with Colin Smith.
Colin Smith: If you're struggling with self-worth and significance, let the truth of who Jesus Christ is and what he does for his people sink into the core of your being. Jesus is the Son of God, and when you come to faith in him, God the Father will adopt you into his own family.
To all who did receive him, that's Jesus, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. See, faith joins you to Jesus, and through him you're adopted into God's family.
As a son or a daughter of God, your destiny is to enjoy him forever. So take that into your most ordinary day or into your darkest hour and let it lift you up.
Guest (Male): Is there someone in your life who needs to know the God of the Bible and might be open to take a journey through the Bible with you? Invite them to openthebible.org.
