“Faith is not about proving yourself right, but about acknowledging your need for God.”

Zhang Peiqian · Pastoral Sermons

Scripture

Luke 18:13 “God, have mercy on me, a sinner!”

Reflection

The tax collector neither defended himself nor compared himself to others; he simply stood before God and acknowledged his needs. Pastor Zhang Peiqian reminds us that faith is not about proving ourselves right, but about acknowledging that we cannot live without God. Often, I am more concerned with whether my stance is correct or my judgment is reasonable, neglecting humility before God. What truly justifies a person is not how spiritual they are, but whether they are willing to relinquish self-righteousness and simply cry out for God's mercy.
