The Power of Active Obedience

There's some research on positive self-affirmations and there's an article I love to teach about this. People who suffered low self-esteem, it spiked their self-esteem really well for a moment and then it plummeted them down deep into donuts. If you feel like you're defiled and encumbered with shame and repulsive and rejected and unwanted because you're in Christ, you are declared pure, perfect, righteous and holy. That's what can undo negative self-talk or these identity things. You are called what Jesus actually is and that's the scandal.
