Faith in Humanity

John Lambert

Thank you for this lovely link – it does bring a bit of cheer. I don’t agree with your comment though. People are obviously capable of doing very great and noble things by the grace of God.

But if we are all essentially good, why do I need to patiently train my children to tell the truth and be gracious to their siblings? I never had to teach them to tell lies and torment their siblings (which seem to come naturally enough)!

And if we are all essentially good why did Jesus come to die?
