Every time you ask for forgiveness, you recognize that the biggest problems you face in life exist inside of you, not outside of you. ↗
If your fundamental is a man dying on the cross for his enemies, if the very heart of your self-image and your religion is a man praying for his enemies as he died for them, sacrificing for them, loving them - if that sinks into your heart of hearts, it's going to produce the kind of life that the early Christians produced.

Jesus said his disciples would be known for their love, not for their placards of protest and angry letters to the editor. ↗
To be a follower of Christ and not just a fan means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. ↗
In a way, the futile excuses many people use to cover their superstitions are demolished.

[W]e conceive the Devil as a necessary part of a respectable view of cosmology. Ours is a divided empire in which certain ideas and emotions and actions are of God, and their opposites are of Lucifer. It is as impossible for most men to conceive of a morality without sin as of an earth without 'sky'. Since 1692 a great but superficial change has wiped out God's beard and the Devil's horns, but the world is still gripped between two diametrically opposed absolutes. The concept of unity, in which positive and negative are attributes of the same force, in which good and evil are relative, ever-changing, and always joined to the same phenomenon - such a concept is still reserved to the physical sciences and to the few who have grasped the history of ideas. ↗
Not all troubles are forever troubles, they teach us a lesson, they open the eyes of the heart and gives birth to compassion. ~Until She Flies ↗
