Do You Know Yourself?

In Part 2 of Owen's On Communion with God and the second digression of chapter 3, Owen speaks of wisdom and knowledge in Christ.  And he asserts that all true wisdom consists in the knowing of God and of ourselves.

Concerning the knowing of ourselves:  "In the knowledge of ourselves, in reference to our eternal condition, does much of our wisdom consist.  There is not anything wherein, in this depraved condition of nature, we are more concerned than sin; without a knowledge of that, we know not ourselves."

Another wise word:  "A real and experimental acquaintance, as to ourselves . . . is our wisdom; and it is that which is of more value than all the wisdom of the world."

So do you know yourself?
