Inherent Worth: Embracing Our Dual Nature in God

Sermon Summary

In my sermon, I explored the complex concept of human morality in relation to God's standards. I emphasized that while we, as humans, are not morally qualified to meet God's standard, we are still inherently good because we are created in His image. This duality of our nature is a testament to our infinite dignity, value, and worth. Our connection to God, through His design and the sacrifice of Jesus, reinforces our goodness and value, despite our moral shortcomings.

In the second part of the sermon, I delved deeper into the paradox of our simultaneous goodness and unworthiness. I stressed that our worth is not diminished by our inability to meet God's moral standard. Instead, it is amplified by our creation in God's image and our connection to Him through Jesus' sacrifice. This connection is a testament to our inherent worth and value, and it serves as a reminder of God's infinite love and mercy for us, despite our imperfections.

1. "Here's the difficult part of this concept: we are not morally qualified to meet God's standard, so in that way, we aren't good at all." - 00:00

2. "But we are created in the image of God with infinite dignity, value, and worth." - 00:00

3. "So in one sense we aren't good, but in another sense, we are simultaneously good and valuable." - 00:00

4. "We are worth this connection to God because of the design of God." - 00:00

5. "Our worth and value are affirmed by the sacrifice of Jesus." - 00:00

Here's the difficult part of this concept:

We are not morally qualified to meet God's standard, so in that way, we aren't good at all.

But we are created in the image of God, with infinite dignity, value, and worth.

So, in one sense, we aren't good, but in another sense, we are simultaneously good and valuable and worthy of this connection to God because of the design of God and the sacrifice of Jesus.
