The issue is one of humility. The Christian is one who is conscious of having sinned and therefore fallen short of the glory of God, and who desires an eternity with his Saviour. He does not trust in the work of his hands, nor does he glory in himself - he does not see himself as any more or less righteous than the other. He reposes in Grace and repentance. He desires a personal relationship with the Divine. He believes that his prayer avails him. He discerns in Christ the wisdom and glory of God. He exhibits a spiritual dependence of sorts, that others would regard as a weakness but that God accounts as a strength. He recognises the divine origins of the motive force that drives the Gospel.
