Not Perfect, Just Forgiven A common reaction when you say you are a Christian and you know that you are going to heaven is, “What makes you think you’re perfect?” There is a general misconception in our society that a Christian is someone who thinks they are good or perfect. I came across this poem which is one lady’s response to this misconception: Christians - By Maya Angelou When I say... “I am a Christian” I’m not shouting “I’m clean livin’.” I’m whispering “I was lost, Now I’m found and forgiven.” When I say... “I am a Christian” I don’t speak of this with pride. I’m confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. When I say... “I am a Christian” I’m not trying to be strong. I’m professing that I’m weak And need His strength to carry on. When I say... “I am a Christian” I’m not bragging of success. I’m admitting I have failed And need God to clean my mess. When I say... “I am a Christian” I’m not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible But, God believes I am worth it. When I say... “I am a Christian” I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name. When I say... “I am a Christian” I’m not holier than thou, I’m just a simple sinner Who received God’s good grace, somehow!

The Apostle Paul wrote in Chapter 2 of his letter to the Ephesian Christians: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we CHEAP SPLIT are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Christians are called upon by God to live godly, FIREWOOD righteous lives, that is, to be good. But it is not ‘being good’ that makes you a Christian, but the fact that through faith in Jesus Christ you have received Oak, Gum, Olive forgiveness of your sins, and that is the gift of God’s GOOD SIZE LOAD!! grace.
