What does holding yourself accountable mean?

Holding yourself accountable means that you stay away from viewing yourself as a victim of circumstances. You have a sense of ownership for yourself and the consequences of your actions. You do not let others do what you must do yourself, and you commit to daily work to accomplish your goals.

Why is it important to be accountable for your actions?

Accountability eliminates the time and effort you spend on distracting activities and other unproductive behavior. When you make people accountable for their actions, you’re effectively teaching them to value their work. When done right, accountability can increase your team members’ skills and confidence.

What does the Bible say about being responsible for your own actions?

Yes God is sovereign. Yes we can do nothing apart from Christ. But when we take personal responsibility for our own lives, we will seek all solutions in the life of Christ. So if you desire to keep your heart from raging against God, then keep your heart from blaming anything other than yourself for your sin.
