When Does Life Begin?

To quote a recording my wife gave me yesterday, Christian life begins when we understand and own our sin and our unholiness before a holy God.

It's ironic that so many who describe themselves as Christians communicate self-righteousness to others. (I feel that by definition, the two things are mutually exclusive- a person can be a true Christian, or he can be self-righteous, but he can't be both.)

The world around us would cringe at the thought of a person seeing his own sin, (if it allows that such a thing actually exists), but in reality it is a wonderful gift because it can lead to rich spiritual blessings and growth in eternal things, through the Lord.
