For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I'd like to highlight what I was able to share in church today...
After reading several different Scripture verses, including the above verse from the New Testament book of Romans, I told the men that I have not been reformed or rehabilitated. Rather, I've been re-created.
I said to the congregation that only Jesus could have looked beyond my criminal record and my heinous crimes to see my worth as a human being. He looked beyond the evil acts I unfortunately committed in the past, and chose instead to see what He could make out of my life.
Christ looked beyond my rap sheet, I said. He saw a broken and ruined man who, while deserving of eternal damnation, gave me the chance to hear the gospel and to place my faith in Him. Praise His holy name!
D.B.
