Only a New Creation Counts
from Reverend Neil Taylor - Podcast · host neilwtaylor
Read Galatians 6.11-18 Fourth Sunday After Pentecost Over the years, I have had this discussion with people many times, and that is how strange and how not so strange it is that the more mature you become as a Christian, the less worthy you feel. It seems strange because the closer you come to Christ, the more his character rubs off on you. But it's not so strange because the closer we get to the real beauty of Christ, the more obvious and uglier our remaining sin appears. So we who are Christ-followers are destined for now to live with a mingling of joy and remorse.
