The Need for Continual Purification as Basic Spiritual Attitude

Tradition and Sanity

All (sinners) are welcome If one has no perception of sin and uncleanness before God, one can have no concept of a need for a savior. Salvation only makes sense when it is seen as healing for a wounded nature, purification for a corrupt or unclean condition. There is no way to understand the Gospel — the good news — without first knowing the bad news of our brokenness, our filthiness, our fallenness, our helplessness. This is the root of religion. Christ came to save us from our sins by His atoning sacrifice, by shedding for us His precious blood. He did not come to pass along some nice comfy stories or utter sagacious adages.
