“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” Romans 5:8
We don't need to be squeaky clean before we accept Jesus into our lives. However, similar to washing dishes in a dishwasher, the dishwasher will do all the work and there is no need to wash the dishes thoroughly before loading the dishwasher, but rinsing off the sauce and even chipping off the crusted cheese is always appropriate.
Lord, thank you that I don't need to be perfect first but help me to remember that this doesn't give me the green light to behave poorly.
