Is It Not Because You Are Looking to Yourself
“Is not the forgiveness of all your sins– the full justification of your

Is it not because you are looking to yourself and within yourself, to the almost entire exclusion of Christ and of the great and complete salvation wrought for you in and by Christ?"
