ALMOST TRUEWhy Don't I Feel Like Enough?

Speaker: Dustin Wagner

Without Christ, you are not enough. ⁸Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. ⁹For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. ¹⁰So you also are complete through your union with Christ ...Colossians 2:8-10 NLT

When you believe you’re enough, you won’t seek the One who is.

Without Christ, We Are ...

Dead in our sins (Ephesians 2:1)
Without hope and without help (Ephesians 2:12)
Foolish, deceived, and slaves to sin (Titus 3:3)
Spiritually blind (1 John 2:11)
Wretched and miserable (Romans 7:24)
Ignorant and separated from the life of God (Ephesians 4:18)
Objects of wrath, destined for destruction (Romans 9:22)

¹⁰“No one is righteous—not even one... ¹²All have turned away... No one does good, not a single one.”Romans 3:10, 12 NLT

To fully treasure what you have in Christ, you need to remember what you were without Him.

¹Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. ²You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. ... ³All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else. ⁴But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, ⁵that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)Ephesians 2:1-5 NLT ⁴Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. ⁵Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God.2 Corinthians 3:4-5 ESV
