I admit it, I'm not humble. In fact, I'm not humble at all. God hates proud people like me (sorry but thats just a fact) There are many times when I think im better than everybody else, and by John's own words that's walking in darkness instead of in God's light (obviously). I also sin way too much and I recognize that i am far behind many other Christians.
Yet, the Holy Spirit speaks to me all the time that I'm a child of God and God is working in me and I have this other nature wanting to break forth. I want to show love to all. Yet j do what my flesh desires and give into the passions of my flesh.. I want to obey God and it feels like all I can do is repent for the rest of my life. So, what did John mean when he said that people like me walk in the darkness? Is this a salvation issue or merely something that God will correct?
