SO GOOD QUOTES

Regarding this, I would like to make a painful observation, which is that many say that they are sinners when deep inside they do not believe it. Such a person might use the word ‘sinner’ about himself, merely with his lips, in order to appear humble, but inside he is not convinced that he is a sinner. If you say to him, “You have sinned”, he will become enraged with you and vehemently defend himself.
