Why Self-Knowledge Matters in the Christian Life

What does knowing yourself have to do with following Jesus?

Christian self-knowledge has nothing to do with vanity or obsession with ourselves but about learning to see ourselves truthfully in the light of Christ. The closer we draw to God, the more clearly we begin to recognize both who he created us to be and the places within us that still need his grace.

In this first episode of our series on knowing ourselves, we lay the foundation for the importance of self knowledge. We talk about the difference between our identity and our personality, the danger of self-deception, and why recognizing our weaknesses doesn’t have to lead to shame or discouragement. Instead, honest self-knowledge can become an invitation to deeper freedom and transformation in Christ.
