What does the Bible say about being good enough?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we are not good enough on our own, but through faith in Christ, we are made acceptable to God.

Scripture assures us that on our own, no one is good enough to meet God's perfect standard. Romans 3:23 states, 'for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' This underscores our inherent inability to achieve righteousness through our own efforts. However, the good news of the gospel is that we are granted free righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ. In believing in Him, we receive His perfect righteousness as our own, making us acceptable to God despite our imperfections. Ephesians 1:6 reminds us that we are 'blessed in the Beloved,' affirming our status as beloved children of God.
Scripture References: Romans 3:23, Ephesians 1:6
