Defining Self-Deception

WORLD CHANGERS CHURCH INTERNATIONAL
About this episode

Feeling like we're inadequate causes us to focus solely on ourselves instead of on God, and brings us into self-effort to try to improve ourselves. We're delivered from this emotion through our belief in Jesus Christ and our dependence on Him. The world has plenty of "solutions" for the negative emotions associated with condemnation, but trusting in and relying on Jesus is the only permanent one.
