self-righteousness, as possibly we underestimated the generosity of Jesus Christ in our own personal salvation; as to attempt to embrace our Father in the Truth of His Inviolate Word (Will) can only be done in humility (Self-abasement before Him)
A faith that does not embody this consistent “realization will be sterile”, comparable a stylus stuck in the grove of a record as the heart will not hear/absorb the full transforming message of Spiritual enlightenment that is the on-going transformation of the human heart.
I know this from personal experience because my own heart was stuck in a grove over many years

Is it not in the self-knowledge of our own individual need of His ‘continual’ Mercy that induces within us a humble heart, as a human heart of self- abasement before God creates a tender compassionate heart towards our neighbour?
