What does the Bible say about self image?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that a healthy self-image is rooted not in appearance, achievement, or human approval, but in knowing that we are God’s creatures, fallen sinners, and redeemed people called to live for his glory. Genesis 1:27 and Psalm 139:14 affirm the dignity of being made by God, while Genesis 2:7 reminds us of our dependence on him. God looks on the heart rather than outward appearance, as 1 Samuel 16:7 teaches, and 1 Peter 3:3-4 commends inward godliness. Romans 12:1-2 calls believers to renewed minds, and Ephesians 2:10 assures them that, in Christ, they are God’s workmanship, created for good works.
