Many people misunderstand the order of salvation. They think they need to get their life together before coming to Jesus. But that’s completely backward. Romans 5:8 tells us, “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus doesn’t wait for you to clean up your life before He enters it. He steps in first, […]
