25+ Imperfect Christian Quotes And Sayings To Encourage You
Hi sis! I want to encourage you today with over 25 imperfect Christian quotes and sayings.
Have you ever felt like an imperfect Christian? Like nothing you have done or anything you will ever do can make you a person capable of being used by God?
At various points in my life, I’ve felt like I was too flawed, too imperfect, too broken for God to possibly pick up the pieces and find enough good for Him to use. But God constantly reminds me through encouraging quotes like the ones I’ll share with you in today’s blog post, that God does use imperfect and flawed people, every single day, to touch other imperfect and flawed people.
I hope these 25 imperfect Christian quotes and sayings encourage you this year and motivate you to go out there and use your flaws and imperfections to connect with other people who feel discouraged because they too have flaws. They too can be used by our Saviour.
25+ Imperfect Christian Quotes And Sayings To Encourage You
Being a Christian shouldn’t mean that we strive towards self-improvement or some kind of personal level of perfection. It means striving to be like Christ. Jesus uses the flawed. He uses the imperfect, the failures and the outcasts. I pray that these imperfect Christian quotes and sayings encourage you that no matter how you feel, Jesus is interested in you.
“I am fallen, flawed and imperfect. Yet drenched in the grace and mercy that is found in Jesus Christ. There is strength.”
“Oftentimes people Christians to be perfect but the reality is… spiritual perfection is imperfection! God then does His best work.”
“Shame says that because I am flawed, I am unacceptable. Grace says that though I am flawed, I am cherished.”
“Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sarah was impatient, Elijah was depressed, Moses stuttered, Zaccheus was short, Abraham was old, and Lazarus was dead.”
“I believe in miracles because I am one. Because there’s no doubt in my mind that I am only here today because of God’s grace and mercy.”
“If I were Satan… I would keep them so distraught and distracted that they would never find the calming strength and serenity… catching them in the crunch of trying to be superhuman instead of realistically striving to reach their individual purpose and unique God-given potential. We must have the courage to be imperfect.”
“No person is 100% faithful. It is only when we see the depth of our own unfaithfulness that we can truly begin to understand the faithfulness of Jesus. He is faithful even when we are not. Thankfully, we have a perfect God who loves us imperfect people.”
“I am the daughter of a King, who is not moved by the world. For my God is with me and goes before me. I do not fear because I am His.”
“God has a plan for your life. The enemy has a plan for your life. Be ready for both. Just be wise enough to know which one to battle and which one to embrace.”
“God loves you more in a moment than anyone could in a lifetime.”
“God has already taken into account the wrong turns, the mistakes in your life. Quit beating yourself up and accept His mercy.”
“Everything which relates to God is infinite. We must therefore, while we keep our hearts humble, keep our aims high. Our highest services are indeed but finite, imperfect. But as God is unlimited in goodness, He should have our unlimited love.”
“God uses our trials to build our faith, draw us closer to Him, and give us a testimony of His faithfulness for others to see.”
“I want to be a woman who overcomes obstacles in faith rather than tiptoeing around them in fear, who worships in awe of Your goodness instead of worrying about the what if’s. I want to be a lioness rising up to protect your children and boldly speaking truth wherever you call me.”
“Don’t fall into the lie that you’re alone. Don’t fall into the lie that it’s time to settle or give up. Fall into God’s arms, come alive in His truth, and let it tear down every lie that was never built up around you.”
