Am I Really Right With God? - Pastor Kyle Self

About this episode

Pastor Kyle Self discusses how right standing with God is received through faith in Jesus Christ rather than earned through effort.

Right standing with God is not achieved through effort, but received through faith in Jesus Christ. This message confronts the lie that approval must be earned and reveals the truth of righteousness as a finished work. Shame, guilt, and performance-based faith are replaced with confidence, freedom, and identity in Christ. Through the great exchange at the cross, believers are clothed in righteousness and invited to approach God boldly. This foundation shifts everything—prayer, perspective, and daily living—moving from striving to secure acceptance into living from it.
