The Bible NEVER speaks of the need to make "reparation" for our sins or doing "penance" to pay for our sins. Rather, what it teaches is that we are to offer our lives as living sacrifices to God in gratitude for all of the mercies He has shown us in salvation (Romans 12:1-2).
Sa halip, itinuturo ng Bibliya na dapat nating ialay ang ating buhay bilang haing buhay, banal at kalugod lugod sa Kanya bilang tugon at pasasalamat sa Kanyang kahabagan para sa ating Kaligtasan (Roma 12:1-2).
