When Self-Esteem is Rooted in Christ |
|
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. (John 1:12-13)
Though I've written extensively on some of the specific aspects of self-esteem in other blog topics, I've decided to compile those writings into one single blog that focuses on the central structures of self-esteem; what the Bible teaches about identity; and how we ought to treat others. Legitimate, life-giving self-esteem must come from internal sources, not external ones. It must be rooted in Christ. Those who truly value themselves and believe in their intrinsic worth as human beings, do not need validation from external sources in order to maintain that esteem. And so we find that self-worth is the very core of self-esteem. | | No comments for this item |
