Why?

I figured that the first post of my blog should be why I started the blog in the first place. My hope is that as I stumble through this life trying to prepare for the next I can share what I am learning by the grace of God. My most fervent wish is that the gospel of Christ would be spread through this blog to those who need it desperately-all of us. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," (Romans 3:23). We need a savior who is perfect to atone for our sinfulness. Romans 5: 15-17 says, "But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ." The one man mentioned is Adam. He brought sin into the world when he disobeyed God. But in God's mercy he provided the one man who could bring righteousness to men-his own son, Christ. Well, I think that pretty much explains it for now. I'll try to update my blog as often as possible. Look for more soon.
