When is ego good? How can I use it in a positive way?

Philippians 1:6, 27I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. . . . Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ.

Knowing that God is working in us and through us and that we are “citizens of heaven” can give us confidence to live for him in a hostile world.

Proverbs 28:1The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.

Knowing who we are in Christ can make us bold in living God’s way.
