From Paul’s Ponderings, a reminder for me of why we have discussions like we do here. It’s not for the sake of argument but for the sake of life; and it’s not because Christians are smarter of better than anyone else but because we have discovered hope and want to share it. Paul says regarding our hope:
The reason we can look forward to the wonderful event of Jesus’ return isn’t because of the righteous life we have lived, but because of God’s grace seen in Jesus’ sacrifice and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Our righteousness has little to do with our behavior and everything to do with God’s gift.
