God's love is unconditional.
No matter what we have done, we are forgiven,
Most relationships are transactional, with conditions. Not so with God.

What are you going to put into the box?
Philippians 3:7 - 9
What Paul had acheived as a Pharisee meant a lot in the Jewish culture of the day. He was a person of power in the community. But he threw it away after the Damascus Road encounter. What it was was nothing compared to Christ.
Jesus needs to be at the centre and the purpose of your life.
If a man can predict his own death and resurrection and pull it off, I just go with whatever that man says - Andy Standly
