I'm a believer in the fact that the human race is in a fallen state and desperately is in need of redemption. I believe that there is only one way that we can be redeemed. First we must know that we are fallen. Second we must admit this to God. Third we must Go to God and ask him to forgive us and cleanse us for the position that we are in. We must realise that there is no other way out of this position except by receiving the free Gift of Salvation provided by God when he came to this earth as a man and allowed himself to be murdered by us. He was innocent of any crime, thus his death took the place of our own deserved death. At that moment we are born a 2nd time and become a brand new creature.
