Bible verses about self-image, self-worth, and “self-esteem”


Base your self-image on who you are in Christ
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children
of God! And that is what we are! (1 John 3:1)

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)

Don’t base your self-image in your accomplishments


May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world
has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Galatians 6:14)

7/30/2020 "Self-esteem," God and the Bible: Who you are in Christ is what counts, not your own self-esteem or accomplishments. | Doug Britto…

You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this
wealth for me.” But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability
to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers,
as it is today. (Deuteronomy 8:17-18)

If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more. …
What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of
knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them
rubbish, that I may gain Christ. (Philippians 3:4-8)

Make it your primary goal to please God not others


Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. (1 Samuel
16:7)

Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? … If I were still trying to please
men, I would not be a servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:10)

We are not trying to please men but God, who tests our hearts. (1 Thessalonians 2:4)

We were not looking for praise from men, not from you or anyone else. (1
Thessalonians 2:6)
