The Christian is not someone who is trying to better themselves; the Christian is someone who has been recreated and made new.

Jesus Christ is the True Vine for us to abide in and bear fruit. Fruit doesn't earn us salvation, but it is the infallible proof that our faith is genuine.

So much of the Christian life consists of the mind being renewed and working properly. We must not settle for mere outward imitation and external conformity; we must be renewed in the spirit of our minds.

God makes amazing and incredible promises to us in His Word. But do the promises of God towards His people resemble our present condition?

Is it an unreasonable standard to want to marry someone only if they are a virgin? Should their immoral past be more important than their present godliness?

David conquered the giant Goliath but fell to a bigger giant, that of fleshly lusts. When you look at his life as a whole, you just cannot believe that this great sin happened to him.

Genesis 6:6 - And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
