Greetings 👋
Many people who critique Christians lack understanding of the Gospel message.
Christianity is a come-as-you are religion. A person can come to Christ at any stage of life and it doesn’t matter what you did in the past or whether you stumble in the future. What matters is whether you have accepted Jesus, confessed your sins, and turned from the practice of sin. The only thing separating Christians from the lost is whether someone has availed themselves of the free gift of salvation.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (ESV).
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (ESV).
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” John 1:9 (ESV).

I take much comfort in these verses. What about you? How has God been faithful to you when the enemy came in like a flood?
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”
Isaiah 61: 1-3 (NIV).
