What does the Bible say about being accounted worthy?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that to be accounted worthy, one must be found in Christ, as it is only through Him that we can escape God's wrath.

In Luke 21:36, the call to watch and pray is tied to being accounted worthy to escape the coming judgment of God. The only way guilty sinners can stand before a holy God is by being found in the Lord Jesus Christ. This means that, rather than relying on our own righteousness or good works, we must understand that we are accepted in the Beloved. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 5:21, God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. Only by having the righteousness of Christ charged to our account can we be considered worthy to stand before God.
