Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in
Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit
of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the
flesh, God did: sending His own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering
for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law
might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according
to the Spirit.
Romans 8:1-4
It is easy to point out people’s flaws and a standard
remark by unbelievers about the shortcomings of Christians is, “Well, that’s
not very Christian.”
True somethings could be judged as “not very Christian,”
but the whole concept of forgiveness by God has to do with us being imperfect
and Him being perfect, and that is the message we can deliver to those who know
nothing about being a Christian.
Asking Jesus to be our Savior does not make us perfect, it
makes us forgiven and better people. Jesus
came not because we are perfect, but because it is impossible for us to be
perfect, and every one of us needs a Savior so that we can move beyond our sins
and into fellowship with God.
