Growing up in church, I heard over and over that I was broken, sinful, and in desperate need of Jesus.
And all of that is true.
But there was another part of the Gospel that I rarely heard—that because of Jesus, I stand before God holy, blameless, and without a single fault.
And so do you.
For years, I struggled with depression, self-hatred, shame, and the feeling that I could never truly live up to what God wanted from me.
What I didn’t understand was that holiness doesn’t begin with trying harder. It begins with believing what God already says is true about us.
In this message, I explore:
- What it means to be holy and blameless in Christ
- Why so many Christians struggle with shame
- How repentance actually works
- Why believing your identity in Christ changes everything
- How sanctification flows from grace, not self-effort
“He has brought you into His own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before Him without a single fault.”
— Colossians 1:22
If you’ve ever struggled to believe that God truly forgives you, this message is for you.
