I am a sinner s/m

I am saved by God's grace. Sometimes people would look at me and say, "see...look what you just did, you're no Christian." The difference is I know I am a child of God and when I ask for forgiveness He removes my sins as far from me as the east from the west. The Holy Spirit convicts me when I've done wrong and I always try to make amends to anyone I've wronged. Every day I stumble and fall. Every time I get up and try again. I pray this prayer a lot. "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever."

And we have to love the sinner, even though we hate the sin. nm

God can love the sinner and still punish the sin.
God is not a wimp. He's not a doormat. He's not a sucker.

Just because He loves us all doesn't me His hands are tied when it comes to extracting justice.

Maybe you bought the 'Touchy Feely Bible'. You should get your money back.
