What are you?

On the Together for the Gospel Blog, C. J. Mahaney answers the question "C. J., What are you?" Here is his incredibly truthful & cross-centered answer:

What am I? Well, here is what I am. I am the worst sinner I know. And by the grace of God I am doing better than I deserve. For I deserve the righteous wrath of God because of my sin. I deserve to be punished eternally. But in the mystery of His mercy, God sacrificed and crushed His Son on the Cross--as my substitute--so that I might be forgiven of my sin and know God as my Father rather than my Judge. What am I? I am truly amazed by the grace of God. That'’s what I am.

Me too.
