Luke 18:13-14
"But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
Justification does not come from acting justified. Justification comes with admitting you are not justified. He who loses his life, saves it. That's why baptism puts us to death before it raises us to new life. Resurrection power works best in graveyards. Today, humble yourself.
