Yes! The more light we have, the worse humans look and the better God looks. Knowing my own wretched, miserable, faulty, failed, inadequate, sinful nature...

(Romans 7:18,23; Ecclesiastes 7:20; 1 John 1:8; Romans 7:23-25; Galatians 5:17)" (1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, chapter 6, paragraph 5) In Him, Doc |
