Listen, I have been on both sides of this 'so-called' debate. (Perfection vs. Sinning that Grace abounds)
I've done them both.
The first twenty three years of my life was a continual pendulum of going back and forth, from being perfect to an outright reprobate.
Eventually I was convinced I was a reprobate. Completely shunned from the faith.
I was sure God couldn't use me because I couldn't stop sinning.
So I started to long for a God that would accept me.
It was then that Jesus said to me, - "O.K., you finished with this foolishness?"
"Are you finally finished trying to prove to Me how righteous you are?"
(Then He said)...."See how it didn't work?"
I through tears and trembling lips stammered "yes???"
From that point He has never let me down.......He has never left me or forsaken me.
So I can truly witness to the world, 'he that has been forgiven much loveth much'.
And He has continued to keep His promise to me day by day......changing me from the inside out.
Conforming me into His image.
(I cry just thinking about it)
