Don’t Let Your Sinfulness Thwart Your Path to Holiness

By Irene S. Roth

Many of us live our lives as if we are unworthy children of God. We were told as kids that we were bad if we sinned. However, that’s not the case now. We’re no longer kids. We’re encouraged to develop our faith into a mature and progressive one in which we consider sin to be a part of life—and something we can work through by moderating our actions and behaviors. We should always try to grow and become more mature. We can do so by asking for the strength to love others unconditionally and, redefine our relationship to sin. In order to grow in God's grace, we should examine our life, character, and priorities.

In this e-book, I will outline and discuss fifteen ways in which we can grow in holiness as disciples of God. We can all develop into a more mature faith. Let’s all do so. Just follow along in this e-book to a place of wholeness and self-love. You will call yourself worthy and follow God and be his disciple. You will live a progressive and mature faith where you treat your faith as an important part of who you are, where you assess your weaknesses and work to improve them one day at a time. Love is the way into this path. Are you ready to embrace love instead of self-deprecation?

Introduction

Many of us feel unworthy to be God’s followers. We may believe that we’ve done some pretty awful things in our lives, banning us from ever being God’s disciples. We may even feel weak, unworthy, and stained beyond hope. As a result, we may feel inferior. Therefore, we never feel we could approach God because we believe God simply won’t listen to us. However, this isn’t the case at all. God tells us repeatedly in the Bible that we are worthy of His love. God also shows us how He reaches out to sinners to save them because we can all be saved. All we have to do is believe in God’s grace and his ability to transform us into children of God. Yes, God’s grace is possible for all of us. We just have to reach out with faith.

Many of us are mired in sin. But it doesn’t have to continue this way. We can resurrect ourselves through God’s grace. However, to do this, we have to feel worthy enough to reach out to God. Many of us feel weak. We think if we go to church regularly, follow the commandments and go to confession that everything else will fall into place. However, this isn’t necessarily the case. It’s not that these ceremonial things aren’t important. They are crucially important. However, to feel more worthy, we
