However, because I believe that Jesus Christ is God, that He lived a perfect, sinless life, that He died on a cross to pay the penalty for my sin, and that He rose victoriously over death to be my Savior and Lord, I will be able to go to heaven when I die. A major reason that God gave us law in the Bible was that He wanted us to realize that we are not perfect, but He is. Just because Jesus died for sin does not mean that we are automatically saved. We must individually ask Jesus to be our personal Savior and Lord. When we sin, our response should be sorrow and repentance.
Homosexuals seem to have a different response.
Homosexuality is a sin, just like the many sins that I commit everyday. By the grace of God I am forgiven, loved and accepted. I also strive to make myself a better person everyday by His power. He wants to forgive you, too. Copyright 1997 by the Iowa State Daily Publications Board.
