Christians preach hard and heavy about how Jesus Christ "saved sinners"— but then they tell you how you have to quit sinning long enough to make a righteous decision to "believe in Jesus." This
hypocrisy results from the standard Christian failure to grasp how Jesus Christ SAVED THE WORLD while the world was still locked up in stubbornness, sin, and unbelief. Belief in Jesus is a gift of God that FOLLOWS salvation. If it preceded salvation, then belief would be a work that gets a person saved. Rather, it is a gracious gift that acquaints a person with a completed salvation.
