“We all automatically gravitate toward the assumption that we are justified by our level of sanctification… We start each day with our personal security resting not on the accepting love of God and the sacrifice of Christ but on our present feelings or recent achievements in [religion]. Since these arguments will not quiet the human conscience, we are inevitably moved…to a self-righteousness which falsifies the record to achieve a sense of peace.”
From Richard Lovelace, “Dynamics of Spiritual Life”
