If you’ve ever found yourself questioning your worth, I want to tell you something that has been a game-changer for me: You are worthy—not because of anything you’ve done or haven’t done—but because of Jesus. This truth has the power to change everything about how you see yourself and how you live your life.
I know that in our world today, it can feel like we need to measure up to so many standards. Social media, cultural expectations, even our own internal critic—it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of thinking we’re only as worthy as our last accomplishment or how we compare to others. But here’s the thing: God’s love for you doesn’t depend on your performance. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done in the past or what you feel you’ve failed at. Jesus makes you worthy. And that’s the most freeing, life-giving truth I can share with you today.
So, what does it mean to be worthy? In our world, worth is often tied to achievement. People feel worthy when they’ve earned it—when they’ve got the degree, the job, the relationship, or the perfect social media feed. But Jesus flips that notion on its head. He tells us that we are worthy not because of what we can do, but because of who He is and what He did for us.
Think about it. The Creator of the universe, the One who spoke the world into existence, calls you worthy. That blows my mind, honestly. I know I’m not always perfect, and I’ve definitely made my share of mistakes. But Jesus, through His death and resurrection, declared that I am worthy of His love and grace. And if you’ve placed your faith in Him, He declares the same for you.
God’s definition of worth is rooted in love. Jesus, the ultimate example of love, chose to give His life so that you could know and experience the fullness of that love. That, my friend, is a worth that doesn’t fade, doesn’t fluctuate, and doesn’t depend on anything other than God’s perfect love for you.
One of the most beautiful things about Jesus’ sacrifice is that it wasn’t just for a select few. It was for everyone—and that includes you. Ephesians 1:4 says, “Even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes” (NLT).
You were chosen. God knew you before the world began and still decided you were worthy of His love. Isn’t that incredible? You don’t have to earn that. It’s already yours because of Jesus.
And you know what else? God values you so deeply. It’s not just about love, but also about value. Have you ever looked at someone and thought, “Wow, they are truly priceless”? Well, God sees you that way. Every little thing about you—the way you laugh, the way you love, the way you serve others—has value. Jesus gave His life because you matter, because you are worth everything to Him. And when we understand that, it changes the way we see ourselves.
If you’ve ever struggled with feelings of unworthiness, there’s one thing I want you to remember: Jesus paid the price for your worth. It’s a price that you and I could never pay on our own. There’s nothing we can do to earn or deserve the love and worth that God has already given to us.
In 1 Peter 1:18-19, it says, “For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom He paid was not mere gold or silver. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God” (NLT). Jesus gave everything to set you free. That’s how valuable you are to Him.
It’s easy to think that our mistakes disqualify us from being worthy of love and acceptance. But Jesus already took care of that. He knew we’d mess up, He knew we’d fall short, and He still said, “I choose you.” Jesus, through His sacrifice, made us worthy in God’s eyes. We don’t have to try to prove ourselves or constantly strive for approval. The approval of the Creator is already ours through Jesus.
When we truly understand that we are worthy because of Jesus, it opens up a whole new level of freedom in our lives. We no longer have to live in fear of rejection or let others define our worth. We’re free to be ourselves—messy, imperfect, and still deeply loved by the Creator.
Here’s the truth, friend: When you know your worth in Christ, it changes the way you show up in the world. You no longer have to be stuck in the cycle of striving, performing, or comparing yourself to others. You can walk with confidence, knowing that you are loved and valued just as you are.
Instead of finding your worth in what you do or what others say about you, you find it in the fact that Jesus loves you, exactly as you are, and you don’t have to earn it. That’s true freedom.
Understanding that your worth is in Jesus shifts everything. It shifts the way you see yourself, the way you interact with others, and the way you live your life. Here’s what this looks like in practical terms:
It can be hard to embrace this idea of worthiness, especially if you’ve struggled with feelings of inadequacy in the past. Maybe you’ve been hurt, or maybe you’ve been told you’re not good enough. But I want to remind you of this: Your worth is not defined by your past, your mistakes, or your shortcomings. Your worth is defined by Jesus.
Jesus saw you, loved you, and chose you. His love is not conditional. It’s not based on your behavior, your appearance, or anything else. It’s based on His grace, mercy, and sacrifice. And because of that, you are worthy, just as you are.
So, if you’re still struggling to see your worth, I encourage you to sit with this truth: You are worthy because of Jesus. Let that truth sink deep into your heart. Whenever those feelings of unworthiness creep in, remind yourself of this: Jesus paid the price for you, and He declares you worthy.
As you go through your day, I hope this truth resonates with you: You are worthy, not because of anything you’ve done, but because of what Jesus did for you. His love makes you worthy. His grace makes you worthy. His sacrifice makes you worthy.
I know that life can be tough, and it’s easy to get caught up in the noise of the world. But remember, you are chosen, loved, and valued. And because of Jesus, you are worthy of all the good things that God has for you.
I pray that you can walk confidently in this truth, and let it transform the way you see yourself, the way you live, and the way you love others. Because when you know your worth in Christ, everything changes. You are worthy—because of Jesus.
