Luke 12:7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
How can we have fear of judgment, and than trust God numbers the very hairs of our head? How can we not be afraid when we our sinners that God condemns us as evil? Well it certain is not by our own goodness, now is it? But rather we have to have faith in someone else goodness, but not our own. All we can do is ask God for mercy, and forgiveness each day for not meeting his superior law of love.
We can't meet it perfectly, or we are a liar, or we are living in pride, but if we our honest we know how far we fall short of God's righteous requirement of us, so lets be real. Why would God point out how naturally evil we are because of sin? It is to save us, how are we saved? Not by getting into a death boat sinking to the bottom of the sea, but rather by getting into a life raft God has sent us as salvation.
1John3:20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 3:21 Beloved, if our hearts don't condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
Yes, Christ Jesus is our salvation, he is our hope, he is our righteousness given to us a a gift of God's love, that is what we need to trust in, not ourselves. In God's judgment of us we have become of great value, because of Christ Jesus righteousness, which cost him his sinless life to buy us back from our sin.
1John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
Now we can rest in Christ Jesus, not ourselves, we can never be good enough, it is God's own love that is good enough for us, so that we can put trust/faith in Him, resting in His love will never fail, God's love cannot fail us, because Christ Jesus is worthy, and we have been given that right of Christ Jesus life, by God's own goodness, not ours, rest in this peace and you have found life.
John 3:15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
