When you really think about it,
The greater part of the constant turmoil
In this human species can be
Readily explained by asking
The same developmental question
About every human specimen:
How much has this one accepted responsibility for itself?
I believe that God designed man to be
100% responsible for himself,
And yet most choose to operate
Far below that level—
Even such that they are afraid
To ask themselves the question.
He has told you, O man, what is good;
Micah 6:8. ESV
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives…
Titus 2:11-12a. ESV
Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!
2 Corinthians 13:5. ESV
