2 Thessalonians 2:13–14

But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Understanding this passage

Worth here is not self-made. You are loved, chosen, called, and headed toward sharing Christ's glory by the Spirit's work.

Why this verse helps

Unworthiness says you were a mistake. This verse says God chose you and called you to share Jesus' glory.

A prayer for you

Father, thank You that I am loved and chosen. Help me believe I will share in Christ's glory. Amen.
