The only measurement you should be comparing yourself to is Christ. He’s the only perfect man that’s ever lived and you’ll never reach that level of righteousness in this life.

For people that claim to be new creations in Christ, sometimes we Christians can be pretty stuck in our old, selfish ways.

In modern society, this doesn’t usually mea...
