I am a Christian. I believe the Word of God. I know that mankind is sinful, and hostile to God. I know that I am, at my very nature, a rebel against God... essentially, a God hater. How can I know this? Because I do those things that God has told me not to do. I hate, I covet, I lust, I don't put God first in my thoughts, my time or my desires.
I know that God has provided a way for me to be righteous in His sight. His son, the God-Man Jesus, came to earth, lived a sinless life, and died as payment for the sins the I would have had t bear. I have repented.
But does my faith really mean anything to me? Do I share my faith with others, as I ought? Do I encourage my wife in love? Do I reach out to encourage a weak brother. Do I pray as I ought? If I say that I love the Word, then why don't I savor reading it?
I truly am a wretched man. Lord, save me.
