“people don’t really want to be saved from their sin; they want to be saved only from the penalty of their sin. they don’t genuinely hate sin & aren’t truly sorry for it; they’re merely sorry because God is going to punish them — people don’t really believe that this new life Jesus offers is better than the old sinful one.”

i would love to come up with some educated pretentious way of explaining my lack of belief in the Gospel, but that would be pathetic. i am however going to try this whole meditating on scripture thing.

“Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives.”
– galatians 5:25 (the message)
