You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to have it all figured out either. Here’s the truth behind all 8 👇
1. You have to be perfect.
Nope. Jesus said it’s the sick who need a doctor, not the healthy (Mark 2:17). Perfect people wouldn’t need a Saviour.
2. Christians never doubt.
A desperate dad told Jesus, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24). Jesus helped him anyway. Doubt you bring to God is still faith.
3. Following Jesus makes life easy.
Jesus promised the opposite: “In this world you will have trouble.” Then: “But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). It’s a lifeboat, not a cruise ship.
4. You have to clean yourself up first.
“While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Come as you are. Cleaning up is God’s job, not your entry fee.
5. Jesus was a soft-spoken pushover.
He made a whip out of cords and flipped tables in the temple (John 2:15). Gentle? Yes. Doormat? Not even close.
6. You’re not allowed to question God.
Psalm 13 opens with “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?” That’s in the Bible on purpose, along with many others like it. God can handle your questions.
7. Going to church makes you a Christian.
Standing in a room doesn’t give you a relationship. Jesus said it’s about living according to the Father’s will, not just calling him “Lord” (Matthew 7:21). So come to church; just don’t leave Jesus there.
8. It’s too late for me.
Paul used to hunt Christians down. He later called himself the worst of sinners, and said God showed him mercy precisely to put His patience on display (1 Timothy 1:15-16). If there was room for Paul, there’s room for you.
