The Resilient Christian

Many of us feel unworthy to be God's followers. We may believe that we've done some pretty awful things in our lives, banning us from ever being God's disciples. We may even feel weak, unworthy, and stained beyond hope. As a result, we may feel inferior. Therefore, we never feel we could approach God because we believe God simply won't listen to us. However, this isn't the case at all. God tells us repeatedly in the Bible that we are worthy of His love. God also shows us how He reaches out to sinners to save them because we can all be saved. All we have to do is believe in God's grace and his ability to transform us into children of God. Yes, God's grace is possible for all of us. We just have to reach out with faith.

We are mired in sin. But we don't have to carry on in the same way. We can resurrect ourselves, through God's grace, and become resilient to sin. However, to do this, we should feel worthy enough to reach out to God. We feel weak. We think if we go to church regularly, follow the ten commandments, and go to confession regularly, everything else will fall into place. However, this isn't necessarily the case. It's not that these ceremonial aspects of our faith aren't important. They are crucially important. However, to feel more resilient, we must transform ourselves from the inside through God's grace and love.

To become a resilient Christian, we need to redefine our sinfulness. When we sin, we don't feel worthy to be God's disciples. This is a human feeling. Everyone sins. It's how we respond to our sinfulness that can lead us on the path to transformation and resilience. If we view our sin as something we can't correct, we can never accept God's love and healing for us and we can never develop a mature relationship with God. However, in order to become a resilient Christian, we must become more progressive instead of regressive in our struggle with sin.
