15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.
Understanding my worth from a scriptural understanding is one that is what I aspire towards but is confronting to follow through with actions. God's family includes those of all sinful pasts including the murderers, rapists, con-artist etc. This reminds me that even though I am set apart, I am not entitled to any special treatment for self indulgence in my actions or mentality.
He who is most deeply abased and alarmed, by the consciousness of his disgrace, nakedness, want ,and misery has made the greatest progress in the knowledge of himself - Jean Calvin
