This is a great response to a question to John Piper about he dangers of knowledge and pride in the Christian's life. I think this goes well with what we covered last week in Ephesians 3 about Paul considering himself to be the very least of the saints.
Here is a great quote from his answer, "First, seek to be continually amazed that you are saved from hell, saved by sheer sovereign, undeserved, indescribably precious grace. Never get beyond the amazement that God saved you — that God chose you and Christ died for you and the Spirit drew you, and that he shows you patience a hundred times every day because of your shortcomings. Never let that become, in some satanic way, a ground for boasting, but always a ground for humility. “I’m saved — utterly undeserving me. I’m saved!” Let that be your chief amazement. Let it be your song."
This is part of preaching the gospel to yourself every day.
I hope the rest of the article encourages you as well.
