For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16 (NKJV)
A major threat to our self-worth today is found in one word: EVOLUTION.
As Christians, we know that theories of evolution disagree with what the Bible teaches, but we tell ourselves it’s not a big deal. Actually, it is a big deal. It destroys self-worth.
When generations are raised to believe that they are the product of some sort of accidental explosion or a series of coincidences, it changes everything. Buying into that kind of teaching means there is no such thing as destiny—or God for that matter.
People begin to believe they’re just accidents—that all of creation is a fluke, and now the earth is hurtling people through space at about 67,000 miles per hour with no one in control. That’s a scary thought.
The truth is there is a God and you are made in His likeness and image. He has a plan for your life, and He put gifts and abilities within you for a purpose. While God doesn’t control your choices—He doesn’t orchestrate pain and tragedy—He has a plan and He knows everything: past, present and future.
Without God, there is no destiny, no future. Without God, people are empty inside. But with God, we can develop a proper sense of self-worth that is based on how much He loves and values us.
Build your self-worth on God’s unconditional love for you because it’s the only solid ground!
