What does the Bible say about self-image?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible encourages believers to view themselves as unprofitable servants, emphasizing humility and reliance on God’s grace.

The concept of self-image in the Bible is rooted in recognizing our identity in Christ and understanding our nature. In Luke 17:10, believers are instructed to say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done what was our duty to do.' This illustrates that any good works we accomplish are not for personal glory or self-affirmation, but are out of duty to God. As Paul states in Romans 6:11, we should reckon ourselves dead to sin and alive unto God, reflecting a self-image founded not on personal worthiness but on divine grace.
