QUOTE : I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the LORD, that you may remember and be confounded, and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord GOD.” The reminder of our preatonement sin confounds us by grace, and we stop comparing ourselves to others. Or to use Paul’s words, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves” (Phil. 2:3).
