Forgiveness of sins Quote by Terry Barber
““If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. If our greatest need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer. But our greatest need was forgiveness of sins, so God sent us a Savior. Jesus Christ is the source and summit of our life. (Venerable Fulton J. Sheen)””
