1 Corinthians 4

Well, I fell off the wagon. Here's to starting up again. Romans 7:18 states "I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out."

Lets just say that I knew this blog was good, but I just couldn't bring myself to it. Now, back to Corinthians.

"Indeed, I do not even judge myself" What a powerful, compact, downright liberating thing to be able to say! In that one little sentence, you can shed off low self-esteem, guilt, anxiety, and fear. Not only does relationship with Christ compel us to not judge others, we don't even get to judge ourself. In essence, combining this with Romans 7:18 shows that we can't even perform well enough for ourselves, much less God, but that is a good thing, not something to fear.
