Sin and the Fall
Everyone in this church sins and falls short of the mercy and grace of God. The Christian life is the active pursuit of repentance and forgiveness, not the achievement of sinlessness.
Humanity fell, and every person since is a sinner. We do not exempt ourselves. Everyone in this church sins and falls short of the mercy and grace of God.
The Christian life is the active pursuit of repentance and forgiveness, not the achievement of sinlessness.
