Prodigal: The nativity reminds us of how precious Jesus birth was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: How much we have to be thankful for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book Vocabulary of Faith by Hampton Adams<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The person who is not aware of his sin or his sinful nature should be led to consider the fact that many, perhaps all, of the truest Christians have known themselves to be sinners “saved by grace.” And their salvation from sin was not guaranteed once for all time, but is a continuing victory of grace. Sanctification, or freedom from sin or the desire to sin, is not claimed by many real Christians. The claim of achieving a sinless life is an exhibition of self-righteousness that belies the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James 4:11-12<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
