Why does your life matter—and who decides that? In this episode, we explore the doctrine of justification and how God’s approval, not performance, gives lasting worth. We unpack guilt, shame, and self-justification, and show how being declared righteous in Christ frees us from trying to prove ourselves.
In this episode we cover:
What justification actually means (and what it doesn’t)
Why approval is something we all chase
How guilt and shame keep us performing
The difference between self-justification and God’s justification
Why God’s approval brings real freedom and authenticity
Key idea:
You don’t earn worth. You receive it.
“If your worth is based on performance, you’ll never stop proving yourself—but justification changes everything.”
