If you are seeking your worth, value and purpose in your own "good works" and accomplishments, rather than in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross to forgive and redeem you, you are chasing shadows, grasping at mist, resting on an illusion. If you doubt what I say, take this simple quiz:
1. Name every CEO of ALL of the Fortune 500 companies.
2. Name ALL of the leaders of every nation on Earth.
3. Name the last 40 Nobel Prize winners.
4. Name the last 30 US Presidents.
5. Name the winners of the last 30 Superbowls
6. Name the winners of the last 30 World Series.
7. Name the 100 richest people in the world.
How did you do? You see, what the world touts as so important today, quickly fades into insignificance and obscurity with the passage of time.
But the things of God have permanent value, because they are eternal, outside of the bounds of time.
Matthew 6:19-21 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. [20] "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; [21] for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
