[QUOTE="jmden, post: 352726, member: 1742"] In getting back to this reply after a quick article post above... How many commandments have I broken how many times? I couldn't even begin to count. I am truly lost but for the saving grace of Christ and his sacrifice for me. He was willing to die for me when I was still in my sin. Romans 5:6-10 -- "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!" Thanks be to God! Since I am a Christian, does this mean I no longer sin? Absolutely not! I wish that were the case, but it is not. I am in need of Christ's forgiveness every day--as are we all. Tom, look at what many call the greatest apostle, the Apostle Paul, known as Saul before his conversion on the road to Damascus on his way to persecute Christians. He was one of the most careful Pharisees--careful to keep the human made rules. He relentlessly pursued Christians and killed them. But God confronted him on the road to Damascus (Acts 9) and Paul finally came to see the Truth! The bible is full of redemptive stories like this. Some of the biggest 'heros' in the bible were the biggest villains there could be before they came to a knowledge of God. NO ONE is beyond God's grace.
