It is a bad day in the life of any Christian when he forgets his origin, when he forgets “the hole of the pit out of which he has been rigged.” This does not mean that we should look perpetually backwards and become morbid, and for ever be reminding ourselves of our sins. The essence of the Christian position is that we should always realize that it is by grace we are saved, that we are what we are solely and entirely by the grace of God. If we fail to do do we shall lose the element of thanksgiving and praise in our Christian witness.
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, The Unsearchable Riches of Christ: An Exposition of Ephesians 3, pp.53-54
