When God puts the best robe on a worthless sinner, the greatest humility is to bow and wear it, knowing that all else is unfitness and rags, and that God has given us that. If you begin to wonder if you are fit, or to say I am not fit to wear it, it shows that you think it possible you could be fit. The Father “hath made us meet  .  .  .   [for] the inheritance of the saints in light.” True lowliness is to accept God’s gift in grace. It would be folly or worse for us to think of being like God’s Son, but when He says so, we must just own it and give up our own thoughts as bad and take Him as good. When God has spoken, we have no business to think; our business is to believe.
J. N. Darby
