...everyone stands so eager to condemn the next man. This proves to be a futile argument, because if we inspect ANY HUMAN long enough or go back far enough, we will find there offense, against God and man. Being born again remedies this for each individual person; it imparts, or soon after, a sense of integrity that is foreign to the natural man. The born again believer realizes that working to be flawless in the sight of man and God is a task too difficult for the holiest person. The born again believer realizes that the most important task for a soul...the best any human soul can be is FORGIVEN. The born again believer realizes that they are forgiven, and have their consciences cleaned by the blood of Jesus. The born again believer then is able to forgive, just as Abba in heaven has forgiven them. A major issue I see is forgiveness; the average sinful man usually doesnt realize they need forgiveness just as much as the person whos offended them. The perfection we receive as born again believers is not doing every thing perfectly by the law and being offenseless, but rather being depleted of pride and not oblivious to their own offense and eager to ask for forgiveness when they realize their offense. 99% of the time, as we stand to condemn others, we are guilty in a similar fashion, it just hasnt been revealed to us yet...usually because we dont realize that perfection in Christ is not the perfection the world thinks and encourages us to think is attainable; being flawless. In essence...we are saved BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH, not works, that no man shall boast (or be clueless to their own shortcomings). #...forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us...
