It would involve an existential awareness of how infinitely impure the sinner was before the holiness and purity of the living God. It meant, also, that the way to the one true God who revealed himself at Calvary would lead to intellectual humility and a confession of the gross ignorance of all humanity before the mystery of God’s wisdom displayed at the cross.
