[QUOTE="aiki, post: 69177414, member: 178791"] Well, God doesn't accept you because you're good. He doesn't need you to be a "saint," or to have made amends for all your wrongdoing before He'll have anything to do with you. Instead, He tells us that He is the only One who can make us as He wants us to be. And for Him to do so, we must come - fouled by sin as we are - to the foot of the cross of Christ and by faith receive from him the gift of salvation and cleansing He offers to us. You see, the reality is that [I][U]no one[/U][/I] deserves God's forgiveness. "All our righteousness is as a filthy rag," God says. All of our righteousness is fouled and useless spiritually because it does not originate from the right source, which is Christ himself. The remedy for this situation, however, is simple: [B]Romans 10:9-13 [/B] [B]9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, [I]"Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."[/I] 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For [I]"whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[/I] [/B] Selah.
