The Gospel

"The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.

This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling.

I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone.

I do not think more of myself nor less of myself.

Instead, I think of myself less."

- Tim Keller
