Mercy and Sin

[Y_Cathol]

1847 "God created us without us: but he did not will to save us without us."116 To receive his mercy, we must admit our faults. "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."117

That's cool ^ -- Just read that in the CCC

I just started the CCC, haven't gotten very far yet though. I need to get to confession myself though, Thank God for his mercy..

Yep, it's consistent with God's decision to give us free will. Just as he doesn't allow us to "live life" without us, neither does he allow us to "live eternity" without us.

And you're right - it IS cool!
