><>.New Christians will go around thinking they are filthy rags! Good morning James... And God forbid any Christian should think that s/he is anything but righteous and holy...And what about non-christians James. Why do you think that they judge Christians as holier than thou ? Come on James be fair, see my post again....I mindfully added ,....but for the blood of Jesus . James we Christians need to always be mindful that we too are all sinners. And should always, with a contrite and sincere heart, humble ourselves before God our most Holy Father in prayer for forgiveness and thanksgiving daily, for His grace abounds. (and our sins are many) We are no better than anyone else....just better off. But only because of the blood of our precious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Righteousness is only imputed to us. (and again I say only because of the sacrifice of our Lord) Underneath that most precious covering we are but filthy rags. That was my only point James....That we never forget from whence we came! And daily thank our most Holy Father, with a humble heart, for His never ending Grace, Love, and Mercy. ....only when we rember this,can we reach out to others in honesty,love, and total understanding, and maybe even be able to see ourselves within them.... Luke 10:20 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. 1 Pet 5:6-7 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. I am sorry that you misunderstood me Have a blessed day James you and your family Shalom...><> BTW...If a new Christian is reading these posts on AG, there is much we all might to have answer for....Forgive us all Father
