Paul says in Romans 7:15 "   For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do." As Christians we all fall short of the glory of God, however we are able to appear perfect before God because Christ has taken the punishment that we deserve and is within us. His blood covers our sin just as a light eradicates the darkness. Romans 6 tells us that we were once slaves to sin, however through Christ we are now slaves to righteousness, because Christ is righteous and as we know by 2 Corinthians 5:17 we are new creations in Him (" Therefore, if anyone   is   in Christ,   he is   a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."). Only Christ is perfect. We are not perfect and will only become perfect once we have been perfected by Christ after we have died and left these sinful bodies of ours behind.

Do not be a dreamer but live for now, for Christ in whatever you are doing. Live faithfully and do what is right, no matter how insignificant it may seem to you. Treat every situation as Christ would. Fo

Below is an article i stumbled across on http://www.atheistrev.com/2011/07/how-many-christians-have-read-their.html. A blog by yet another atheist who spends his precious time trying to disprove something that he doesn't believe in anyway. The fact they he finds it necessary to do so and to try and encroach on the beliefs of others is strange in itself and downright decadent. But anyway, the content of this article is interesting and rather ironic. Give it a read and see if you can see the irony: July 21, 2011 How Many Christians Have Read Their Bible? I cannot help wondering what percentage of self-identified Christians in the United States have read  their bible  from cover to cover. I suspect that if more had read it, there would be fewer Christians. Once one realizes what the book contains, it becomes considerably more difficult to insist that it is "holy." No, this isn't a post about religious literacy, although that is certainly relevant. And it is not
