Four Ways to Feel Good about Yourself

Matthew 3 ends with the Heavenly Father announcing, “This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Jesus probably felt good about Himself. He had been baptized and was about to launch His public ministry. Then in chapter 4 the devil came crashing in with his temptations. Here are four ways to feel good about yourself, three devilish and one divine.

1. PLEASURES, v 3

2. POWER, v 6

3. POSSESSIONS, v 8-9

4. PROMISES, v 17

Worldly substitutes are short-lived (1 John 2:16-17). Jesus rejected the devil’s temptation. He knew the best and most enduring way to feel good about oneself is take God at His word and believe what He has said about you.
