The Nature of Man

“In spite of being what we are God has had mercy upon us. He has sent His son to bear our sins and their punishment in order that He might forgive us. We need forgiveness…we need pardon. This has got to be cleansed out of us and God has provided the way to do it. He sent His son to die for our sins. It’s the only hope for us. Nothing else can do it…and then He gives us the new nature. He takes us and He plants us in Himself. We begin to draw of His life and of His power. We become like branches in a vine. We begin to bear fruit. We are blessed ourselves and we become a blessing unto others.”
