Christianity Quote by Timothy J. Keller
““Could you explain to someone else how the gospel can (and should) transform our sense of identity? How much do you experience that transformed sense of identity? • In what ways has God’s Word encouraged you or challenged you? Pray about it. • Pray that God would give you what you need to enable you to develop true gospel-humility and the freedom of self-forgetfulness.””
