Because of Jesus the sin we cannot forget God does not remember.

In the Old Testament, we are continually told that our good works are not enough, that God has made a provision. This provision is pointed to at every place in the Old Testament.

...this culture of mandatory happiness actually promotes dishonesty and more suffering.

When Martin Luther was asked what we contribute to our salvation, he said, "Sin and resistance"

The gospel is not about a lifestyle that we live, it's about the law-fulfilling life that Christ lived.

The bad news that we are all guilty is met with the best news that God loves and forgives guilty people.

Thankfully, God's restraining grace keeps even the worst of us from being utterly depraved. The worst people who have ever lived could've been worse.
