Jesus’s Perfection = Our Freedom

“When the enemy comes and attacks and says, ‘You are not enough. You are not good enough, you are not perfect enough, you didn’t do enough,’ you can say, ‘No, but when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us—he saved me—not because of the righteous things I did, but because of his mercy....’ Fight the lie that you’re tempted to believe with that truth.” — Natalie Abbott

Do you feel like you have to get everything right all of the time? On today's episode, Natalie Abbott and Vera Schmitz talk about the freedom Jesus offers us when we trust in his perfection instead of relying on our own performance. Vera shares honestly about her regular struggle of trying to prove her worth and how verses like Titus 3:4–5a help her refocus on the truth of Christ throughout her day. There's so much encouragement and practical advice in this episode not just for perfectionists, but for us all.
