If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. (Psalm 130:3-4 KJV)
When Dr Tim Berrey was in Cambodia preaching, people would ask him, "What would you give us if we join your church?" Apparently there are churches that would offer new converts a pig, or a bag of rice. But Dr Berrey did not have anything to offer except Christ. Now, there were some who believed and joined his church, despite not having such incentives. At prayer meetings, these new converts would always shared how they were persecuted after they believed Christ. Then Dr Berrey asked them, "If your life is so challenging after becoming a Christian, why don't you go back to your old religion?" And he would never forget the reply they gave, "But in Christ we find the forgiveness of sin."
