Tim Keller, writing in The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness.
“You believe the gospel; maybe you have done so for years. But….and it is a big ‘but’…every day you find yourself being sucked back into the courtroom.
You do not feel you are living like Paul says.
You are getting sucked back in.
All I can tell you is that we have to relive the gospel every time we pray…..we have to relive the gospel on the spot and ask ourselves what we are doing in the courtroom. We should not be there. The court is adjourned.
“Like Paul, we can say, ‘I don’t care what you think. I don’t even care what I think. I only care about what the Lord thinks.’
And he has said, ‘Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,’ and ‘you are my beloved child in whom I am well pleased.’ Live out of that.”
