Readiness To Change

“[The Christian’s] readiness to change impels him to break with his unredeemed nature as a whole: he wills to lose the firm ground of unredeemed nature under his feet and to tumble, so to speak, into the arms of Christ. Only he who may say with St. Paul, ‘I know in whom I have believed’ can risk the enormous adventure of dying unto himself and of relinquishing the natural foundation.”
~Dietrich von Hildebrand
