Lies vs. Truth

Today we were asked during service to write three lies that we believe about ourselves and combat them with three truths from God. Here is what I learned...

LIE: I am dirty.
TRUTH: I have been washed clean by the blood of Jesus Christ.
"And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
~1 Corinthians 6:11

LIE: I am worthless.
TRUTH: I have been made new and He sees me as Holy and blameless in His sight.
"For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be Holy and blameless in His sight." ~Ephesians 1:4

LIE: I am bad.
TRUTH: Though I have sinned, He has set me free through His death on the cross.
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death."
~Romans 8: 1-2
