Why do some doubt their spiritual condition?

Doubt often arises from a false belief that one's acceptance before God is based on performance or personal righteousness rather than God's grace. The sermon outlines that many people, like the Pharisees, may cling to their perceived worthiness derived from moral conduct, leading to spiritual pride or insecurity. However, true humility acknowledges that we are unworthy, just as Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 15:9, yet we can be confident because of grace. Understanding the depth of God's grace helps dispel doubt, leading believers to rest in their identity as fully accepted in Christ, despite their failings.
