When a merely moral man or woman comes in contact with baseness and immorality and treachery, the recoil is so desperately offensive to human goodness that the heart shuts up in despair.
-Oswald Chambers
Think of the worst person that you know, yes Jesus loves them to. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us. That means that Jesus Christ died for Osama Bin Ladin, Adolf Hitler, and Brandon Floyd. The only difference between us is that I have faith in Christ, and am thereby saved by grace, not through works because if I were saved through works then I could preach works, not Christ.
There is a tension between believers in Christ and non-believers, but I rarely see much difference between the two. We all live our lives the best that we know how, we all shop, watch movies and television. We all have said a cuss word or two, and did somethings we are not proud of (some more than others). Christians go to church on Sunday to fulfill their weekly quota of spiritually, and nonbelievers find themselves at the houses of friends, social clubs, and the like.
What separates us? What is the dividing line? Is it church? religion? Christ?
I believe it is faith.
