Gospel Centered Life: Lessons 1 and 2

We are working through learning what the gospel is all about.  The chart showing an awareness of God's holiness and our sinfulness is very powerful and personal to me in that it brings me to a healthy reliance on God and not my own efforts. The recent passages in Luke 18 revealed examples of false righteousness (tax collector and pharisee / rich man and his possessions).  Following that were every day examples of what seemingly makes us look better than we are.  In actuality, focusing on ourselves, keeps us from having a healthy identity in Jesus Christ. When we have our identity in Christ, we are no longer burdened by elevating ourselves. What are your thoughts?
