Am I Worthy?
When we look back on our lives, it becomes clear: God has
blessed us greatly and has carried us through our darkest times. When
you think about how much God has blessed you and watched over you
throughout your life, it is only natural to ask, “Am I worthy?”
When Jacob reflected on his life, and how God had brought him
through every difficulty, he said, “I am unworthy of all the
lovingkindness and of all the faithfulness which You have shown to Your
servant…” (Gen. 32:10). These feelings are obviously relatable, but are
they true? Are we all truly unworthy? Do we earn worth or merit worth
through our own faithfulness to God?
Jesus directly answers the later question in Luke 17:7-10. He
points out that servants who do as they are supposed to do, do not merit
any special gratitude or privilege for simply doing their job. In
application to His disciples, Jesus finished this point by saying, “So you
too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are
unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have
done’” (Lk. 7:10). So when we do as we are designed to do (Eph. 2:10)
and commanded to do, we do nothing to merit worthiness of blessings,
favor, or gratitude from God and Jesus. Does this mean that we are
indeed unworthy?! Well, there is more to the story…
God’s Word calls us to “walk in a manner worthy of the
Lord” (Col. 1:10). When we do, God qualifies “us to share in the
inheritance of the saints of light (Col. 1:12). When we do good and work
in faith, God counts us as worthy (2 Thess. 1:5, 11). These Scriptures
tell us clearly that God designates us as worthy when we chose to live in
a worthy manner.
You truly stand before God unworthy of anything, nor can you be
worthy of anything by your own power. Your life, abilities, family,
possessions, and all other things are unmerited blessings from God. But
when you do as you are commanded to do and walk in a worthy manner,
God Himself will declare by His own goodness and power, “You are
worthy.”
