Often, a Christian can be mistaken for someone who only affirms certain truths. Christ is King, and that He died for our sins, among others, which we find in our baptismal creed. The truth is much deeper. Yes, we affirm the truth of Christ, but to be “saved” is to receive our life, our grace, our love, our energy for a renewed life, through Christ himself. Entering into participation with Christ is the only way to grow in a life of virtue, of goodness, of a life that reflects the image of our Lord. Peace, Fr. Cliff+
