“The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to died
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 The Reason For God (New York, NY: Dutton, 2008), 181
