Why Should I (Part 2)

  1. Why should I ever be in bondage knowing that there is liberty where the Spirit of the Lord is (2 Corinthians 3:17)?
  2. Why should I feel condemned when the Bible says I am not condemned because I am in Christ (Romans 8:1)? 
  3. Why should I feel alone when Jesus said He is with me always and He will never leave me nor forsake me (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5)?
  4. Why should I feel accursed or that I am the victim of bad luck when the Bible says that Christ redeemed me from the curse of the law that I might receive His Spirit (Galatians 3:13-14)?
  5. Why should I be discontented when I, like Paul, can learn to be content in all my circumstances (Philippians 4:11)?
  6. Why should I feel worthless when Christ became sin on my behalf that I might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21)?
  7. Why should I have a persecution complex knowing that nobody can be against me when God is for me (Romans 8:31)?
  8. Why should I be confused when God is the author of peace and He gives me knowledge through His indwelling Spirit (1 Corinthians 14:33; 2:12)?
  9. Why should I feel like a failure when I am a conqueror in all things through Christ (Romans 8:37)?
  10. Why should I let the pressures of life bother me when I can take courage knowing that Jesus has overcome the world and its tribulations (John 16:33)?
