Am I Worthy? Do I Have What it Takes?

Many people struggle with questions like, "Am I worthy?" when counseling for baptism and also after baptism when examining themselves before Passover. However, the Bible teaches none of us can become worthy by our own efforts. Our focus as we approach baptism or Passover shouldn't be on ourselves and our sins, but on having the proper respect for God and appreciation for Jesus's sacrifice that paid the penalty for our sins.
