But if this is true, then why does Christian perfection seem so elusive, so impossible? You made a bundle of improvements, but there's always a flaw somewhere. How can any of us make the winner's circle in heaven with so much imperfection on earth?
You'll find Patricia Maxwell's answers to these questions reassuring, practical, and easy to understand.
