As our friend Steve Brown is fond of saying, “You can’t make this stuff up!”

Nobody, in inventing a new religion, would ever entertain the thought that there is NOTHING we can do “achieve” Peace with God.

All the made-up religions include some form of self-improvement, appeasement, checklists, or other form of “religious” activity.

Man wants to “ascend” a spiritual ladder of righteousness.

God “condescended” to be born of as Virgin, raised as a Child, suffer, die, and be the Substitutionary Atonement for our sins.

It flies in the face of human logic...

And human PRIDE.

There is only one book which really deals with the problem of lethal guilt feelings the author describes: HOW I FOUND FREEDOM IN AN UNFREE WORLD by Harry Browne.

It is out of print but you can still get it on the secondary markets.

The gospel (of Jesus Christ) is scandalously offensive to those who are trying to earn their way. Rightly so. Not one of us wants to be the weak person who needs to be rescued.

Seems as if we should have to do some THING! Just one little some...thing.

But...the Grace of God...is matchless, unequaled, and therefore not in need of being aided by anyone or any THING anywhere at any time.
