28 Bible Verses About Self Worth to Strengthen Your Faith

A collection of Bible verses about self worth and how they can help you grow in your identity in Christ.

Knowing your self worth according to the Bible is vital for a Christian. It strengthens our faith and walk with God. It also affects the relationships around you. (Low self worth and esteem can destroy relationships.)

And the only way we can fully understand our worth is by getting into the Word and spending time with Him. This is where we start to learn our true identity in Christ.

I mention this in my Bible Verses for Leadership, but I think it’s worth stating here as well. There are tons of verses that will give you an understanding of self worth, but it’s when you read the Bible and study it as a whole that you really gain understanding.

So, let these scriptures of self-worth transforms you, and cause you to hunger to know more. To dig deeper into the Word of God and what He has to say about you! And as Romans 12:2 says…

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
