I haven't written anything serious for a while, so here we go. By the way, isn't that a great title? ;)
As christians we have to be careful not to fall into the trap that because Jesus has saved us, its ok for us to sin, and live like the world, or just use the excuse that nobody is perfect. Jude talks about that, in his chapter, I believe somewhere around verse 5-7 or so. In the Bible it says that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees then my no means will you enter the kingdom of Heaven. The great thing, is the double transfer of Jesus's death. Not only are our sins transferred to Him but His righteousness is transferred to us. That is redemption. We are all in the process of being justified, this is a continuous action, that will continue until the rapture, of us becoming more like Christ. If you go to my sunday school (and didn't fall asleep) you would already know all about that...
