Because Christ died for us, we gain access to true righteousness, and are able to represent Christ here on earth. http://cqod.com/index-04-02-09.html 2009-07-02T14:58:24-05:00 Blaise Pascal distinguishes the righteous from sinners http://intothyword.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=36065&columnid=3803 2008-11-10T18:08:43-05:00 His Divine Power is Given!
