The proud human heart is there revealed. We insist on paying for what we have done. We cannot stand the humilitation of acknowleding our backruptcy and allowing someonbody else to pay for us. The notion that this somebody else should be God himself is just too much to take. We would rather perish than repent, rather lose ourselves than humble ourselves.
-John Stott, The Cross of Christ, p. 162
