Sinners cannot be reconciled to Him on their own terms. Unregenerate people have no ability to appease God’s anger against sin, satisfy His holy justice, or conform to His standard of righteousness. They are guilty of fatally violating God’s law and face eternal banishment from His presence. The deadly, deceptive premise of all false religion is that sinners, based on their own moral and religious efforts and achievements, can reconcile themselves to God. But God alone designed the way of reconciliation, and only He can initiate the reconciliation of sinners; that God…reconciled us to Himself is precisely the good news of the gospel.

INGREDIENTS

1	lg	Spanish onion
2	lg	Carrots
1	md	Turnip/swede
1	lb	Leeks
		Potatoes
		Handful pearl barley/rice
1		Cube vegetable stock
1	ts	Dried mixed herbs
		Salt and pepper to taste
		Tomato puree optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Fill a very large saucepan with lid, if possible 2/3 full with cold water
and put it on to boil. This will take a long time, so peel and chop or
slice the onion, carrots, turnip/swede and potatoes. Trim the leeks, slice
down one side, and rinse them thoroughly in cold running water. Chop them
into 1/2 inch rings. Stir the stock cube into the boiling water. Add all
the prepared vegetables, the mixed herbs, and the pearl barley or rice as
you like. Turn down the heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally,
until the potato has cooked enough to thicken the soup and all the other
vegetables are tender, but still recognizable. It needs about 40 minutes.
Add more water if required, a little at a time. Adjust flavor with salt and
pepper, and tomato puree if liked.
