Rather it is believing that in Jesus Christ God comes to tell us that he accepts us as we are in spite of our imperfections, if we will trust and try to be obedient as best we can, with all our imperfections, to the leading of his Holy Spirit. Christians are not morally, ethically, or spiritually perfect people, nor better than others.” |
