I do like Calvin's thoughts about us not knowing our true selves until we have compared ourselves to God. After all, I look pretty good compared to the average Joe on the street, but compared to God.......

I have heard it said that people won't get saved until they get lost. IOW, unless a man can see himself from God's viewpoint, he will not come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ.

" unless a man can see himself from God's viewpoint, he will not come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ."

You mean like coming to grips with your 'total depravity?'
