How Shall I Be Right With God?

"...an answer to the greatest personal question ever asked by a human soul – the
question, “How shall I be right with God? How do I stand in God’s sight? With
what favor does he look upon me?” There are those, I admit, who never raise that
question; there are those who are concerned with the question of their standing
before men but never with the question of their standing before God; there are
those who are interested in what “people say” but not in the question of what God
says. Such men, however, are not those who move the world; they are apt to go
with the current; they are apt to do as others do; they are not the heroes who
change the destinies of the race. The beginning of true nobility comes when a
man ceases to be interested in the judgment of men and becomes interested in the
judgment of God."  - J. Gresham Machen
