Schaeffer: acknowledging and saying thanks

[on being unable to see all our sin]

But whatever evil may be above the surface, the portion that we do comprehend is sin, and that portion must be taken with honesty before God who knows our whole being, and we must say to Him, "Father, I have sinned."  There must be real sorrow for the sin that I know, that is above the surface of myself...

...if we have sinned, it is wonderful consciously to say, "Thank you for a completed work," after we have brought that specific sin under the finished work of Christ...

TS, p90,92
