Ezra 1:1-2:70; Daniel 4:1-37; 3 John
I know that in me…dwelleth no good thing. Romans 7:18
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy 1:15
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given. Ephesians 3:8
Why did God use Paul? He did not have “a good self-image” as some recommend! Looking at himself he humbly said “In me… dwelleth no good thing.” Concerning sinners he said, “I am the chief of sinners!” In relation to believers he said, “I am less than the least of all the saints”. If I am ever tempted to think that I am somebody great, let me look at the vilest offender and say, “There, but for the grace of God, go I”. —David Croudace
Boasting excluded, pride I abase;
I’m only a sinner, saved by grace! —James M. Gray
