You are absolutely correct, sir. Coming to the realization that I cannot help myself is one of the greatest graces that God has granted me in, lo, these many years. He was kind enough to let me see what all those whom He has called realize, that we want to "...be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith."
So ... I am honestly trying to understand here. When you have sinned, do you try to stop sinning? Or do you just carry right on?
That would be M’am.
I would weep should I ever come to believe I was a dunghill covered with snow.
