There’s an old psychology concept called “I’m OK, You’re OK” that basically teaches us to treat others the way we want to be treated. Of course, it was Jesus who first coined/invented the concept, but without getting stuck on that, I wonder how many would be Christians never really embrace the Lord because they think too highly of themselves. The “I’m OK” seems to move toward, “I’m awesome!” and the “You’re OK” seems to move toward, “You’re not as good as me.” Well, the Bible has plenty to say on the subject, but the bottom line is this. Apart from God, we are far less than “Okay!”
“What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.'” Romans 3:9-13
In Christ,
