    You are Good Enough

    About this ebook

    I am going to take you back to the day you decided to believe in Jesus.
    I am going to make the argument that you should still be receiving honour and blessing because of all the wonderful implications of that decision. A spring of life opened up on that day and it is still flowing into your life.
    But guess what? This spring or fountain can become blocked.
    The great thing about the way the media treats our sporting stars when the Olympics are on is they only focus on what the person got right.
    The journalists forget about the mistakes that may have happened in the personal life of the champion that they are interviewing or writing about.
    Everyone's complete focus is on the one time when this person got it right and won their sporting event.
    They got a gold medal and all the glory that comes from winning an Olympic gold medal.

      You are Good Enough - Tony Egar

      Chapter 1

      Yes, when you believe in someone you are loving them. When you believed in Jesus, you loved him.

      The experience of becoming a Christian is the highlight of a person’s life story.

      Whenever the Olympics are on… the television stations and other media outlets in Australia always interview our sporting legends from past Olympics.

      One of our greatest sporting personalities is always one of the main attractions. This person is treated with respect and often given a place of honour at media events or sporting receptions.

      Now let me be a little honest with you. This sporting champion achieved their success over 40 years ago. Since then this person has had a very unremarkable life. They have not had any success in any other area of their life for over 40 years.

      Some would say that they have actually been unsuccessful.

      I am happy that we treat our past sporting champions with honour and respect.

      What I find interesting is… you can get it right so long ago and still be blessed today from something that happened in your past.

      If you have a happy marriage, you are being blessed today from a decision that you made at a previous time. If you are in a prosperous business or career, it is the same.

      I am going to take you back to the day you decided to believe in Jesus. I am going to make the argument that you should still be receiving honour and blessing because of all the wonderful implications of that decision. A spring of life opened up on that day and it is still flowing into your life.

      But guess what? This spring or fountain can become blocked.

      The great thing about the way the media treats our sporting stars when the Olympics are on is they only focus on what the person got right. The journalists forget about the mistakes that may have happened in the personal life of the champion that they are interviewing or writing about.

      Everyone’s complete focus is on the one time this person got it right and won their sporting event.

      They got a gold medal and all the glory that comes from winning an Olympic gold medal.

      The winter Olympics have just been held in Russia.

      One of our young snowboarder’s was telling a journalist how helpful a gold medal is for opening doors.

      Apparently a group of contestants was out late one night celebrating. They were hungry and found a restaurant just after it closed. The young people pleaded through the window for the manager to let them in, but he would not. Now they were cold and hungry.

      This Australian woman who had just won a gold medal took it out of her pocket and placed it against the window. The manager immediately opened the restaurant just for this group of winners. Everyone loves a winner.

      When you became a Christian; you made a decision that many other people cannot or will not make. You were asked a version of this question:

      Is Jesus the Son of God, was he raised from the dead, will you accept him as Lord and Saviour?

      Many people know the right answer to this question but make the wrong decision. They say, NO.

      For most of us this was a really simple question with a simple answer. We said, Yes.

      When you think back to the day that you gave this right answer did you put a value on your response?

      Because God gives us salvation as a gift; we say that we did nothing. Compared to what Jesus did…yes we did nothing to earn our salvation, so we cannot boast.

      But let us compare ourselves with ourselves.

      Of all the decisions you have made in your life, which one was the most important.

      Now if we put a value on all your decisions and asked you which ones were gold, silver or bronze?

      What value would you give your salvation decision? You would have to say it was Olympic Gold!!

      Therefore all your other decisions that you ever make must be valued with silver or bronze. Your salvation decision was your Mount Everest moment.

      You climbed the highest mountain and at the very top you met with God and said yes.

      How clever are you?

      You can never undo that decision…you can never exceed that choice.

      It is the best thing you have ever
