When it comes to trying our very best to be good enough, we tend to put ourselves in a never-ending cycle of focusing on the bad things we do. It’s easy to find yourself caught up in all your mistakes and constantly find different outlets to attempt to feel just a little bit good enough.

• What outlets do you find yourself using to feel good enough?

The Cross is the ultimate representation of where we first see freedom take its true and purest form. Look at Romans 8:1 one more time: “there is no condemnation” (emphasis added)! Condemnation literally means: “expression of very strong disapproval.” No disapproval, no judgment, no “feeling of not being good enough” can be found in the Cross! By dying on the Cross and bearing the penalty of our sin, Jesus made it possible for us to live under grace rather than law and to be free from the power of sin so that we can walk in love.
