I’ve spent my life among followers of Jesus. And here’s what I’ve seen: they struggle. They lie. They battle temptation. They wrestle with anger, pride, anxiety, and judgment. At times, they can be unkind and unloving. It’s all true.
But that’s precisely why they follow Jesus, not because they are perfect, but because they know they are not. They are people who know they need grace, forgiveness, and transformation.
If someone were truly “good” on their own, they wouldn’t need a Savior.
But broken people? We need everything Jesus offers.
