Putting on Christ Quotes

“Hugh Nibley also spoke to the above.  “Who is righteous?” he asks.  “Anyone who is repenting.  No matter how bad he has been, if he is repenting, he is a righteous man.  There is hope for him.  And no matter how good he has been all his life, if he is not repenting, he is a wicked man.  The difference is which way you are facing.  The man on the top of the stairs facing down is much worse off than the man on the bottom step who is facing up.  The direction we are facing, that is repentance” (Approaching Zion, pp. 301-2).”
