Paul Allwood: I grew up as a roman catholic and I was severely biased against and distrustful of BIBLE CHRISTIANITY...until I asked God to tell me what my sin was.
Through Bible study with a friend I learned that from the beginning of my life
I had been WISE IN MINE OWN EYES.
I thought i knew the difference between right and wrong,good and evil.
(Proverbs 16:2-3) "All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. {3} Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established."
(Genesis 3:4-5) "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: {5} For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."
(Psalms 119:129-130) "פ (PE).Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. {130} The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple."
(Ephesians 2:1-10) "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; {2} Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: {3} Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. {4} But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, {5} Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) {6} And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: {7} That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. {8} For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: {9} Not of works, lest any man should boast. {10} For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."
Amen brother!
