Admit it

A person who does not believe in Jesus Christ does so because, in the last resort, he feels he can do without a Saviour, because he is sufficient for himself. But one who admits that he is a sinner, who needs a Saviour, admits the claim of Jesus to be this Saviour.—Emil Brunner, The Christian Doctrine of Creation and Redemption, 256

Huh. That's what I just said in the last idle musing. I guess I've been reading enough Brunner to begin to think like him. Well, I doubt that's true, but his thoughts are definitely affecting my thinking—hopefully making it more biblical.
