About This Quote

There is a great secret to success and it's not what you do, it's what you think. The secret to success is thinking of yourself as Jesus Christ. In other words, if Jesus Christ were born in Bethlehem a thousand times and not in yourself, then you are lost eternally. There is no salvation from your own sinfulness because you have been rejected by Jesus.

The Bible says that Jesus' blood washes away all of our sins but we cannot wash them away ourselves unless we accept Jesus as the only way to salvation. If you really want to gain a lot of wisdom and knowledge, then sit down and think about how Jesus would have reacted if he had been born in Bethlehem a thousand times and not in himself. Think about what mistakes he would make if he had been born in Bethlehem a thousand times; how he would act, what he would say or do, etc.

Then apply those thoughts to your life.
