“You can’t forgive me for my sins nor can I forgive you for yours. Two kids in a mud puddle can’t clean each other. They need someone clean. Someone spotless. We need someone clean too. That’s why we need a savior.
Trying to make it to heaven on our own goodness is like trying to get to the moon on a moonbeam: nice idea, but try it and see what happens.
Listen. Quit trying to quench your own guilt. You can’t do it. There’s no way. Not with a bottle of bourbon or perfect Sunday school attendance. Sorry. I don’t care how bad you are. You can’t be bad enough to forget it. And I don’t care how good you are. You can’t be good enough to overcome it. You need a Savior.
“Christ's death was a one-time event, but it was a sacrifice that took care of sins forever.” Hebrews 9:28 The Msg
