How does a believer see themselves in light of God?

Answered in 1 source

A believer recognizes their sinfulness and need for grace when they see God’s holiness and majesty.

When a believer encounters God's holiness, as illustrated in the sermon, they become acutely aware of their own sinfulness. The prophet Isaiah illustrated this when he saw the Lord and exclaimed, 'Woe is me, for I am undone' (Isaiah 6:5). This realization is crucial for true faith; it leads to repentance and a recognition that one cannot attain righteousness on their own. Instead, understanding one's depravity fosters a dependence on Christ's atonement, showing that while we are indeed wretched, God's grace abounds to redeem and transform us into new creations. It ultimately leads to a life lived in humble gratitude and reflection of God's character.
