It's an affront to God to keep talking about how unworthy we are. It's a statement of unbelief. “I really don't believe what God says about me; I believe what I think about me.” We're never going to get anywhere that way. It isn't being humble. It's a false humility. It's the teaching of tradition and the flesh, because it appears humble.
What's truly humble is agreeing with what God says about you. Nothing more. Nothing less. We are the righteousness of God. We don't look it all the time. We don't feel it all the time. We don't think it all the time. But we are.— The Rest of the Gospel: When the partial Gospel has worn you out, page104

As it says in 2 Corinthians, "we walk by faith not by sight." And, as we walk by faith, it becomes a reality. Funny how that works, isn't it?
