Today I was reading in 1 Corinthians and I read something that touched on the principle that I had discussed with my coworkers. In Chapter 15 verses 9-10 Paul says, "For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
I think this brings up two important things. God's grace is enough to help anybody. It can turn somebody who persecutes the church to an apostle. God's grace is powerful and nobody (minus those who knowingly deny God) is beyond help.
It can't stop there, though. We have to be willing to god beyond being and saved and make sure that it is "not in vain" and we have to "labour abundantly." It isn't just a matter of mental being "saved" but letting your sould be changed and then labor abundantley in good works.

I believe in Christ
The Real Site
My Testimony Blog
The reason I started this blog was so I would have an outlet to express my testimony and share it with others. In the latest Ensign (church magazine) we were encouraged to use the internet to share the gospel, so here I am. I originally titled the blog as religionmormon.blogspot.com, so that if someone searched for religion and mormon maybe they would find my blog and learn about my views of my religion. I have tried googling it, but nothing comes up. I guess I really don't understand how google works, but either way I plan to update this every Sunday with some thought or another on my feeling about religion, gospel, Jesus Christ or other things that touch me spiritually. I don't expect that a lot of people will read it, but it will give me a chance to reflect on my week and what things were important to me spiritually that day. I am just one person and my views don't necesarily reflect the views of my church, which is why I put a link to the church website under The Real Site.
