“From the very beginning, faith, hope, and love are planted deep within our nature—indeed they are our very nature (Romans 5: 5, 8: 14–17). The Christian life is simply a matter of becoming who we already are (1 John 3: 1–2, 2 Peter 1: 3–4). But we have to awaken, allow, and advance this core identity by saying a conscious yes to it and drawing upon it as a reliable and Absolute Source.*”
