Why is remembering our original state important for Christians?

In the sermon, it is emphasized that reflecting on our original state, as depicted in Isaiah 51, is crucial for understanding the totality of God's work in our lives. We were once dead in sin (Ephesians 2:1) and found in a 'hole of the pit.' This acknowledgment of our depravity serves to strip us of pride and leads to deeper gratitude for God's grace. It is essential for believers to recognize that they were chosen and called from darkness into His marvelous light, demonstrating God’s mercy toward those who deserve nothing.
