Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?
Galatians 3:2-3
“A Christian is not just someone who knows about Jesus, but one who has “seen” him on the cross. Our hearts are moved when we see not just that he died in general, but that he had to die for us. When that knowledge becomes affecting and life-changing, we are Christians. We see the meaning of his work for us.” –Tim Keller
How easily I forget…
Hi Carla, I saw this writing and just wanted to drop a quick line from a brother to a sister in fellowship, appreciating your reflection here, and also apologizing to you. I’m sorry to you for causing any hurt feelings by my past writings on your blogsite. I should be respectful of your fellowship policies for your site, even as a distant brother. I want to be pushy in insisting on making friends and fellowships for myself, as a sinner. And I repent my sins to Jesus in apology to you, as a brother to a sister, and in respecting your needs. I hope this note will be a blessing for you, and that it finds you well.
Yours,
Rick
