About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 We all think we’re good people, but Jesus says we’re not. We have a problem: all of us think we’re more moral than average. We’re better at everything than everybody, but we’re still humble about it.
#2 We all have a tendency to be self-righteous, and we rarely talk about it. Jesus addresses this issue relentlessly, and he says that all of us, without exception, need to repent and repudiate ourselves.
#3 The goal of this book is not to make you feel bad about yourself, but to help you see just how good God is and how much more relaxing life can be when we come to terms with who we are.
#4 The word righteous means approved by God. It’s something God judges as good or right. To be self-righteous means we’ve met that standard in our own eyes. We will stop at nothing to avoid cognitive dissonance, and we will sacrifice anything to preserve our precious illusion.
