    I like this quote very much! I’m reminded of the so called formality that I had to perform through life in order to be accepted in the sight of God and man. I now know that my careful attention to all requirements of order, rules, and laws are not going to find favor with the creator of all things or to impress man due to the fact that my formality is tanted with sin. For even Christ’s formality was not enough to impress God’s acceptability, for it also took the compassion of Jesus to live in the mire of our sin to suffer, then die for us being the perfect attonement for our sins.
