I was pointing out last time that the Christian
life is simply a process of having your natural
self changed into a Christ self…. As long
as the old self is there, its taint will be
over all we do. We try to be religious and
become Pharisees. We try to be kind and become
patronizing. Social service ends in red tape
of officialdom. Unselfishness becomes a form
of showing off. I don't mean of course that
we're to stop trying to be good. We've got
to do the best we can…. Our real selves
are, so to speak, all waiting for us in Him.

English: 
natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera,
some of which come from my ancestors, and
some from my education, some perhaps from
devils. The self you were really intended
to be is something that lives not from nature
but from God.… Give up yourself and you'll
find your real self. Lose your life and you'll
save it. Submit to death, submit with every
fiber of your Being and you'll find eternal
life. Look for Christ and you'll get Him,
and with Him, everything else thrown in. Look
for yourself and you'll get only hatred, loneliness,
despair, and ruin.
