I don’t know who you are, But if you ask me who am I:

I’m inherently self centred. I love good things to happen for me. It is easier for me to accumulate more than to give a snippet. I don’t need any training to sin, but if not disciplined in the way of righteousness, I will never do it. I am not comfortable with repentance and confession, it’s difficult to accept that I’m wrong. I always justify myself and try pushing blame to the neighbours compound, a champion of blame game. I am naturally inconsistent,  endowed with spasmodic faith and fickle spiritual grip. I’m a candidate for Redemption. Have you seen anything lovable in me? It’s because Christ has done it. Have you seen anything admirable in my character, it’s because the Holy Spirit is continuously discouraging me from doing what I naturally would do. Have you heard any statement from me that you can quote, “Those are not my Words, before saying them, I should have quoted Christ, I’m sorry for not respecting the law of dissertations. And I’m therefore a candidate of a life as long as the life of God. 

 

By His life and His death, Christ has achieved even more than recovery from the ruin wrought through sin. It was Satan’s purpose to bring about an eternal separation between God and man; but in Christ we become more closely united to God than if we had never fallen.  – The Desire of Ages  25.3
