As strong as a Christian I once believed myself to be, I realize that as much as I adore and praise and am grateful for Jesus, I never understood true salvation, and that has partly shaken the foundations of my Christian faith.
Don't get me wrong, I will always believe that God sent His One and only begotten Son to cast all of our sins away and that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. This one fact and belief will never falter as it is engrained into my mind, but not so much my soul yet.
The fact that we should not be focusing on our deeds or what we've done but instead focusing on what's been done for us by Jesus Christ is still a concept I find extremely difficult to wrap my head around, and always have. To be honest, I've always been AWARE of this, and I'm thankful, but I've never truly known or understand it or WHY anyone would even do such a thing. Love seems to be a simple answer but with the life I've lived so far, love is also a very largely foreign concept to me at times.
And this is definitely something I'm always confused and thinking about.
