Is the common saying "I am enough" true? Designed to counter negativity, haters and crushing expectations, is it effective or is it like giving a Red Bull to someone dying of thirst?
Such helpful insights Josh! I think how confession is almost implicit and unacknowledged in “I am enough” shows how unimportant the world thinks sin is, or at least certain sins. When sin loses its’ weightiness we don’t realise our need for a saviour. Really enjoying wading through your Substack🙂 Hope you’re well!
Thanks Jess. You’re right. Secular society has no concept of sin. Unless it’s someone else’s evil. Personal faults are just foibles that are excusable. As you say, going easy on ourselves means so many miss the joy and freedom and hope of God’s mercy. Thanks for tuning in here!
