Matthew 3:16-17 King James Version (KJV) 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (NLT) -Galatians 3:26
Is this a hall pass where we get to do whatever pleases us because of our faith in Christ? No way! But if you are feeling unworthy of God's love because of what you have done lately, take heart. God loves you still. This is just a reminder we can easily get out of balance between performing good works and believing those good works will make us right with God. Reflecting back, have you ever become out of balance between the two?

It's easy to get carried away thinking good works and acts of kindness will make us right with God. Sometimes we put so much faith in our our own abilities that we lose the need for God. However, the Bible is very clear we cannot do enough good deeds to enter heaven. Be comforted in knowing our faith in Jesus will cover us. Yet, even if we believe, it is still easy to slip into performance based thinking where we must accomplish X,Y, and Z in order for God to love us.
