Summary

Chapter Three of Pastor Rob's book, "Enjoying the Goodness of God" read by the author. Depression flees from the revelation of the goodness of God. I knew Jesus was not disappointed in me and it had nothing to do with my behavior. It was because I was His son. However, the more I grew up in the Lord, the more I began to expect my behavior to be perfect in order for me to consider myself as righteous before the Lord. Though I did not realize what I was doing, I was trying to be righteous in myself. So one day, when I no longer felt righteous (a sure sign of condemnation or self-righteousness), I no longer believed I was righteous. By believing I must act right in order to be righteous, I had fallen from grace! Have you received the gift of righteousness, or are you still trying to earn it?
