     | 1,523 views

    At a men's retreat I noticed the verse on the back of the shirt of the guy sitting ahead of me. 2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." I pondered that and wondered how power, love and self-discipline counter fear.

    This study is about how God wants us to see ourselves and learn how to cultivate and build up biblical self-esteem in a dynamic sense by understanding what it means to be created in God's image and being "in Christ," and He in us.

    To be different from the world, every Born-Again Christian must have a healthy awareness of who they are in Christ and the new self-identity He gives.
