Have you been listening to Satan’s lies about your walk with Jesus? Have you thought you are unworthy and cannot worship God until you make everything perfect? I have good news for you. You already know Satan is a liar, but I can prove to you that Jesus has made you clean and worthy to stand before him and serve him in faithfulness. 

How are you made worthy? By Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, you are given every right to worship and serve the Lord. 

“That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:10-14, NKJV).

The Greek rendering of this passage is “The Father has made us fit, worthy, qualified in character, and good enough to be partakers in the inheritance of the saints of light.” 

What Jesus did on the cross qualifies you for eternal inheritance. If God has qualified you for eternal life, he has made you strong in character. You could “sit down” from ministry for a month, a year, or a lifetime trying to make yourself qualified for him, but you can never meet the criteria on your own. 

Even if you were able to win victories over every wrong thing you have done and every wrong thought you have had, you still would not be qualified in God’s sight. It is impossible. Why? Because God will not accept any righteousness except that of his own Son, Jesus Christ. 

You cannot obtain the righteousness of Christ by working for it. The only way to obtain it is by believing and trusting God for it. It all happens by faith in what Jesus Christ has done!
