Ted asks about the idea that the Christian life should be relatively smooth after the gift of the Holy Spirit. Rod talks about what the New Testament tells us about Christianity, what saves sinners, and using some imagery from C.S. Lewis, what we learn from Jesus about how much God loves us so that He would save us even as we sin against Him.
