Pride is the poison in every other vice

Humility means being small enough to see the greatness of something and to feel unworthy of it, and privileged to be able to enjoy it.

Ironically, both the skeptic and the believer think the gospel is too good to be true. But the skeptic scorns it, and the believer falls on his knees. He sees that even goodness is too good to be true, along with the Truth that is too good to be true. The only thing that prevents us from seeing this is the sinfulness of pride.
