They are three inseparable aspects of our sad history. However, from eternity there is no ‘time frame’ that’s why it is Eternity! And from there the whole story develops. Just that we cannot understand it well (we all see parts of a whole) so also with depravity! Maybe you want to talk with some of your classmates that think more on the issue! <BR/>I totally agree that there are people (not Christians) that behave more as we should be behaving… The only reply that I have found for myself is: “imagine what those ‘not so good Christian people’ would be if they were not redeemed and instructed under the graciousness of God?” On the other hand, it is not for nothing that Jesus told the story of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18:20-22. Unfortunately, meekness is nobody’s forte, and yes, sadly we are a shame to our name! <BR/>It only leaves me with a “forgive me Lord” help me to be a better vessel for your light! But it is not the container, but the light that glows! Is my light shining?<BR/>God Bless,<BR/>Adriana & PauloAdriana Schalkwijk Ribeirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275026189125647368noreply@blogger.com
