The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. 1 Timothy 1:15

Paul was a student of his heart. He paid attention to the desires and impulses that churned within. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that he knew he was capable–given the right circumstances–of the worst of sins and vilest of motives.
Paul was a realist. He wanted to see God and himself truly. No hiding behind a facade of pleasantness or religiosity for him. When we take a look within, let’s be realistic. What’s lurking in the crevices of our shady heart? Be a realist.
