I had lived with no idea how thoroughly sin had penetra
ted every area of my life. Even the idea that I needed some kind of forgiveness was ridiculous to me. God, however, is merciful.
I was His enemy, yet God brought me to Him. Paul said:
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
