I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus is the only way. However, I still sometimes feel unworthy; especially when I reflect some of things I have done. I think that is a trick of Satan.
He pointed to Matthew 25. What has me worried is that I never clothed someone, other than throwing out used clothes in the salvation army bin, never fed a stranger, or visited a prison.
You can always start...I think it speaks of an attitude of heart anyway...if an obviously thirsty or hungry person came around I think you would probably feed them...ever stop to help change a tire, help an elderly neighbor with their lawn or bring in groceries...? That’s what that verse is saying...to have a heart for the needy and helpless, to have a helping loving attitude towards the needs and people all around you. Lots of ways exist to love your fellow man..Christ simply provided a pattern of response and used a few examples...there are many many ways one can show the love of Christ and be known as ‘worthy”! Volunteer for a soup kitchen, indeed send in food and or money to help supply that soup kitchen for a day! The ways are numerous. Be a mentor for a struggling at risk child...Christ is in all that! You want something to do...God will find you something!
We need to know that we are unworthy. It’s the only reason we would come to Jesus.
It’s not a trick of Satan, but it is a place he’d like us to stay, dwelling on it and being consumed by it.
Like Paul said, forgetting what is behind, we press on.....
