Things Unseen with Sinclair B. Ferguson · Following the Light of the World · 22 Sep 2026 podcast

And yet I was doing my best, and doing my best to keep the commandments from my youth up, as the rich young ruler said. voice-verified

I think I could put it like this. voice-verified

I knew I sinned sometimes, but I didn't think of myself as a sinner. voice-verified

I shared the natural man or woman's view of themselves, assuming that the divine report card probably read something like this basically more or less satisfactory, but could try harder and do better. voice-verified

But now I was discovering not just that I did sinful things, but that I was a sinner. voice-verified

In other words, the sin wasn't just in my actions, it was woven into the warp and woof of my life. voice-verified

Sinner was what I was. voice-verified

Basically, before God, I wasn't satisfactory at all. voice-verified

If you know and have experienced what I'm talking about here, you'll understand, I think, what I'm about to say. voice-verified

Having read the Bible since I was eight or nine and tried to live a decent life, thinking that's what it meant to be a Christian, this discovery that I was actually a sinner by nature, not just someone who occasionally lapsed, it came as a tremendous shock to me. voice-verified

And it shook me to the foundations. voice-verified

It's the only way I can express it. voice-verified

I now began to realise I'd seen myself entirely from the wrong point of view, my point of view, not God's viewpoint. voice-verified

I was seeing myself in terms of whether I was as good as the next person. voice-verified

I wasn't thinking about myself Koram Deo as we sometimes say, standing before the face of the holy God. voice-verified

and now is having a kind of miniature version of the experience Isaiah describes in Isaiah chapter six. voice-verified

I know I was only fourteen coming on fifteen, but I really felt undone. voice-verified

And I now realized, to use Jesus' words, that the light I thought was in me was actually darkness. voice-verified

And it was then that some older friends suggested I go to a city center church in Glasgow to a service on a Saturday night. voice-verified

And I did, and during the sermon Christ was presented to this fourteen-year-old boy who was conscious he was in spiritual darkness. voice-verified
