Well today's Bible verse was a real pick-me-up! Sad, but true.

Jerry was a good man, but he could never be “good enough.” And neither can we. It is only by grace that we can be saved through faith. And that has absolutely nothing to do with our human efforts. “It is the gift of God” (Eph. 2:.

Always been a bit of an issue for me, especially when I was in my early 20's. I understand the needing to accept the Lord in order to achieve Heaven, but my struggle has always been with the fact that "good people" who may have a different belief, will share the same ultimate fate as killers and child molesters. I understand but struggle with it.

Well this was a depressing way to start the morning. And like you said Anthony, sad but true.

"By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8

It still amazes me, that God would give us such a gift in life. After all our wrongs and sins that someone could still love me and offer me such a gift. How could someone not work towards this life?
