God loves and will accept us just the way we are, through the atonement of the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, providing we admit that we are sinners and are willing with His help to change. He does not accept sinners for them to remain as they are. He knows if we are genuine about wanting His pure and perfect will for our lives. If we think that we are coming to Him merely for “fire insurance” without intent of giving our lives over to Him to begin our endeavor to become conformed to the holy image of Christ we are deluding ourselves and remain unregenerate.

I almost fired off a reactionary response to this, but thankfully I read onward to this and am NOW ok with the first!!

 

 

 

Darned good theology!
