Tim Tebow is not the best quarterback in the NFL, so what is all the hype about him. He prays or gives praise to God on the field after a good play. Big deal. Who does it hurt? It is not America has an abundance of good characters in the sports' world anymore. Maybe there is something to his display of John 3:16.

Have you ever heard the controversy about how Christians can just sin all the time and just ask for forgiveness and they think they are getting into heaven?

Well, forgiveness deals with the characteristic of mercy and not with the attributes of grace. For, mercy is defined as not receiving what we deserve. Forgiveness is not receiving the eternal punishment for sins we have committed, and this is great mercy. But as Scripture decares, we are not saved by mercy; we are saved by grace. Grace is defined as receiving what we don’t deserve.

In our present form, Christianity is a like in the middle of a game of solitaire. All the red cards of the Covenant of the blood of Jesus and all the black card of the covenant of Law of Moses are intermingled. Red and black cards are stack differently throughout each denomination and even among most churches of each denomination.
