What is a Christian?
One who, by the grace of
God, can declare that he justly
deserves the wrath of God, save
for the mercy of Jesus Christ
alone. He casts aside all hope in
his self-righteousness and puts
away all pride in his own
goodness. One who is glad to be
regarded as spiritually bankrupt,
a poor sinner, saved by the free
grace and righteousness of Christ
and, by the sheer mercy of God,
has been granted a grateful heart
which yields in allegiance to Him
alone as LORD and sovereign. In a
word, one who "glories in Christ
Jesus and has no confidence in the
flesh." (Phil. 3:3)
