Received, Not Achieved
Kyle Richter
This week at Veritas, we asked a question so many of us wrestle with: Am I enough? In Luke 18, Jesus tells a story about two men who approach God in very different ways, one relying on his own goodness and accomplishments, and the other relying entirely on God's mercy. So often, we build our identity around what we achieve, how we perform, or what others think of us. But Jesus offers us something better: an identity that isn't achieved, but received. Because of Him, we don't have to prove our worth or earn God's approval. We can rest in who He says we are.
