Even though we are forgiven of our sins when we first surrender our lives to Christ – and that forgiveness for our offences against God is total and complete – we still have a corrupt soul. Even though we have been given a new spirit – born again – and that spirit is sanctified and…
"Would you?"
"Is He Really?"
"Break free"
"Taking Responsibility …"
