He Is Enough

by Danette Reeves
You are enough. These words are everywhere: jewelry, billboards, bumper stickers, counseling sessions, songs, and even Bible studies. Believe in yourself because you are enough. You can do anything because you are enough. Don’t compare yourself to the world’s standards because you are enough. Be content with who you are because you are enough.
I understand the sentiment behind the words, but it is a lie. You are not enough. This flies in the face of everything culture is telling us today. Culture does not want us to feel wrong about anything we think or sin we commit. Culture teaches us there are no sins; we are free to act as we please. Why? Because we are right in our own eyes. Judges 21:25 states, “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” This might be said about today’s culture. We have set “self” up as king? Why? Because you are enough (the lie culture sells to us).
Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (I’m not enough).
Psalm 118:8, “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man” (I’m not enough).
John 14:6, “Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (I’m not enough).
John 15:5, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing” (I’m not enough).
Paul shared a great secret with us in Philippians 4. He is explaining that he learned to be content when he had abundance or little. In every circumstance, Paul had learned that he was not enough. He shared the truth in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” Paul was not enough, but Jesus is. I’m not enough to get into heaven, but Jesus is enough when He covers me with His blood, death, and resurrection.
John 10:10 states, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I (Jesus) came that you may have life and have it abundantly.” I’m not enough to give myself abundant life. Jesus is enough.
I’m not enough to provide myself with peace. Philippians 4:6-7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Jesus is enough.
Brothers, sisters, and seeking friends, do not fall into the trap of independence this world tries to sell us. Proverbs 26:12, “Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.” Without Jesus, you are not enough. With Jesus, you have everything you need because He is enough.
