Something to think about....

                                                 

 How does a person become acceptable to God? The path to redemption begins not with 

the decision to live a better life or to stop doing something wrong, but with the 

realization that we cannot correct our sinful nature. To find favor with the Lord, we 

must grasp that its impossible to make ourselves righteous. Instead, we need to depend

on the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf. When we trust in Christ as our Savior, God the

 
Father applies the benefit of Jesus' atoning sacrifice to our sin debt, thereby making

 
us saved, that is, acceptable in His eyes.
