What is the corresponding mark of our Christian life before men? Is it charity? Wisdom? Sincerity? Zeal? Other men have these. None of them is peculiar to the people of God, but there is one that is. It is a seemly absence of self-confidence! What distinguishes God\u2019s own is that their confidence in the flesh is destroyed and they are cast back upon Him. <div class=\"bg-margin-for-link\"><input type='hidden' bg_collapse_expand='69d76b4c0ce3e5091584462' value='69d76b4c0ce3e5091584462'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-more-text-69d76b4c0ce3e5091584462' value='Continue reading...'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-less-text-69d76b4c0ce3e5091584462' value='Show Less'><div id='bg-showmore-hidden-69d76b4c0ce3e5091584462' >I have known Christians who are so sure they know the will of God that they will not for one moment consider they may be mistaken.
