"Genuine salvation will always produce genuine transformation. 2 Cor. 5:17 says "" therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!"" (ESV).

We carry on in the knowledge that one day soon, we will be made perfectly sinless in His Presence forever.
