How should the fact
that Jesus died for us affect our self-esteem?
I'm Accepted
John
3:16-17
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (17)
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but to save the world through him.
Galatians
3:26-28
You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, (27)
for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves
with Christ. (28)
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for
you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Timothy 6:6-9
But godliness with contentment is great gain. (7)
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out
of it. (8)
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. (9)
People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into
many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and
destruction.
Romans
5:8-11
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were
still sinners, Christ died for us. (9)
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall
we be saved from God's wrath through him! (10)
For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him
through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled,
shall we be saved through his life! (11)
Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord
Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Romans
8:1-4
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus, (2)
because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me
free from the law of sin and death. (3)
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the
sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of
sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful
man, (4)
in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully
met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but
according to the Spirit.
Romans
8:32
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how
will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
I may not be rich
Don’t wear fashion clothes
Don’t live in a mansion
Don’t have much that shows
Never won a contest in popularity
Don’t have much to offer
But Jesus loves me
I’m accepted, accepted
I’m accepted by the One who matters most
Never set a record in sports agility
Never was magnetic in personality
That don’t really matter
I’ll do the best I can
‘Cause there’s a God above me
Who loves me like I am
I’m accepted, accepted
I’m accepted by the One who matters most
If you think you’re a loser
When you fail it seems at everything you do
Just remember there’s a Savior
And you are worth enough
He gave His life for you
I’m accepted, accepted
I’m accepted by the One who matters most
