We as Christians need to take Christ on His terms, not our own.
The proud sinner wants Christ in his pleasure,
The proud sinner wants Christ in his covetousness,
The proud sinner wants Christ in his immortality,
but the broken sinner is so desperate he will give up anything just to have Christ, just to have forgiveness and eternal life and hope and deliverance.
Grow in grace is growth downward.
As you grow in grace you have a continually lower opinion of yourself.
Self denial becomes a life pattern.***
***Hard to believe (audio series - CD2)
To truly follow Christ we must learn to kill self. As Christ said, he came to serve not be served! Christ did not come to save the righteous, but the sinner!
May you know Him. May our hearts truly know Him. May we not just think of Jesus, but that our lives would live for Jesus!
