The doctrine of justification devastates self-glory. It puts a hammer to human pride. It makes a mockery of self-righteousness and the self-aggrandizing, self-justifying arguments that go with it. This truth destroys our pride in our power and our wisdom. It removes your ability to think that you have done something to be deserving. This truth requires you to confess that you have no power on your own to keep yourself from being without God and without hope. When you admit that what this doctrine says about you is true, humility results.
