"..if you understand the gospel, you 'boast' exclusively and only in the cross. Our identity, our self-image, is based on what gives us a sense of dignity and significance - what we boast in. Religion leads us to boast in something about us. the gospel leads us t boast in the cross of Jesus. that means our identity in Jesus is confident and secure- we do 'boast' ! - yet humbly, based on a profound sense of our flaws and neediness."
- Timothy Keller, Galatians For You, page 182
