You say it is hard to understand how a holy God could accept such an awful person as yourself. You express not only a low opinion of yourself, but also too low an opinion of the person, work, and promises of the Redeemer. You complain about your sin, but when we examine your complaints, they are so full of self-righteousness, unbelief, pride, and impatience that they are little better than the worst evils you complain of.
