Before Christ came into our lives, we were both literally and figuratively lost. 1 Peter 2:25 says, For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. Through Christ’s sacrifice for each of us on the cross, we were given a path to righteousness. This righteousness matters to God more than it matters to people around us; always keep this in mind when we are tempted to boast.
