Flattery and exaggeration don't seem harmful, but God desires truth in our innermost parts. Examine your life and relationships
Sin
Robert Murray McCheyne has wisely said, “for every look at self—take ten looks at Christ! Likewise, unfathomable oceans of grace are in Christ for you. Dive and dive again—you will never come to the bottom of these depths!” Although our sin against a holy God is vast, God’s grace is deeper still. This is the Gospel—the best news we could hear—and the only antidote for our sin.
