On my way home from work the song "Someone worth dying for" by Mikeschair came on. Ive heard this song before and never really thought much about it but this time that wasn't the case.
As I was humming along these words struck me: "Yeah I wanna believe, Jesus help me believe that I
am someone worth dying for"
Here are some thoughts on this: I am not nor will I ever be someone worth dying for. Thankfully, God sovereignly sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross for His glory. There is nothing within me that will ever be "good" enough. God's word tells us in Romans 3:10 that "No one is righteous, not even one." Christ died on the cross to pay the price for my sins so that God would be glorified. Because I will never be able to provide salvation for myself. I did not and will never deserve that priceless gift. Praise the Lord that my salvation is through Christ and who He is, not who I am. That is the beauty of the gospel! It's called grace! Saying that "I am someone worth dying for" puts far to much value on oneself as opposed to praising Christ who deserves all of the glory!
Now this is in no way meant to be a bashing of Mikeschair and I hope you won't take it as that. I hope that you will simply think about the gift that Christ has given and remember that this gift is offered to us not because we deserve it.
Ephesians 2:8
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God."
