God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
God is a God of second chances. No matter how many times we may have fallen short or made mistakes, He is always ready to forgive us and give us a fresh start. His grace and mercy are boundless, and He offers redemption and restoration to all who seek Him.
It is for us, in whom the Christian Church is at this moment partially embodied, to declare that Christianity, that the Christian faith can do that for the world which the world needs. You say, “What can I do?” You can furnish one Christian life. You can furnish a life so faithful to every duty, so ready for every service, so determined not to commit every sin, that the great Christian Church shall be the stronger for your living in it, and the problem of the world be answered, and a certain great peace come into this poor, perplexed phase of our humanity as it sees that new revelation of what Christianity is.
