Christians do not have an excuse for the fact that they get things wrong, but they do have an explanation – sin. Christians should be the first to acknowledge that they are no better than the next person because they believe both that they are in constant need of God’s forgiveness and in constant need of his help if they are ever to do any good. Although sincere Christians can display an attractively humble and different life, too many Christians fail to. Instead they give off an air of self-righteousness.
The value of the Christian faith is therefore better grounded not on the performance of its followers but of its founder - Jesus. The gospel accounts of his life in the Bible show he was no hypocrite, but perfectly practiced what he preached. Read one of them for yourself and check out his life and claims.(Matthew 7:1-5)
