There's something I'd like to add to your topic of sin and repenting.<br /><br />Grace. Without grace, people would be unable to reconcile with God. People cannot earn their way to God: they reconcile with God through grace. Nobody can sin so much that there is not enough grace to cover it. <br /><br />In Romans 5:20-21 "where sin increased, grace increased all the more...just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." <br /><br />It's important to remember that Grace is the key to eternal life with God. We are all sinners. We will never be perfect. And God knows our hearts. Only He will determine who is allowed into Heaven (not a 5% statistic someone probably made up). <br /><br />Some people mistakenly believe that grace means that you are no longer accountable for the choices that you make, which isn't true. God wants you to use your grace to share His compassion with the rest of the world.<br /><br />Keep on keepin' on, Mark! <br /><br />Ang :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
