Under Catholicism, I NEVER expected to make it to heaven.

I wasn’t good enough and I knew it.

And I thought God was up there, perpetually angry at me, waiting for me to slip up and zap me unless I could appease Him somehow.

It was fear through and through. Not a shred of the concept of a LOVING heavenly Father who is interested in us and wants to be in relationship with us and cares enough about me as an individual that He’d even bother with me.

Then I was born again, and WOW, I felt like a new person inside.

I wonder why......

One of the great things about this post is that all the scripture posted is clear, plain and easy to understand...None of it requires an interpretation and you don’t have to be an intellectual to get it...

I wonder why......

Because you ARE a new person. 2nd Cor 5:17. Old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new.

Hey, when I was a member of that same works based religion (WBR) you were in, I NEVER thought I would be saved either. I wonder why? Maybe because, in that WBR, I would NEVER be saved, so I lived it up. So did my WBR classmates. Now, things are new. I wonder why?

Nobody has EVER been "good enough" to make it to Heaven....you didn't pay attention during Catechism class again. We have a Redeemer because we need redeeming....ALL OF US, and Catholicism pointed out to you that YOU NEEDED IT TOO!!!!See how easy it is to understand
