Many Christians struggle with feeling unworthy despite knowing about God's grace intellectually. The story of Thomas shows us that Jesus doesn't shame us for our doubts but meets us where we are and provides what we need. Throughout Scripture, people who bring honest doubts toward God experience Him more deeply. Our core identity as new creations in Christ never changes based on our performance. God doesn't require perfect behavior or sinless living - He offers unconditional love and welcomes our authentic questions and struggles.
