Lewis's book, Mere Christianity? Thanks and God bless, Christina Pastor,

It amazes me that we can have this kind of dialogue. If you get a chance, take the forgiveness quiz (see the link at the top of my blog). I would think you and your husband would have more discussion after that! Thank you so much for responding. It amazes me that we can have this kind of dialogue.

Lewis' point is that if people are unwilling to admit they are sinners, then they cannot accept Christ. Does that make sense? The woman at the well (John 4) knew that she was thirsty. She asked Jesus to give her living water. But, suppose she had said, "I'm not thirsty at all." Christ would have had nothing for her, not because he was unwilling but because she didn't recognize her need. Sister, thanks for asking.
