**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**

I said at one point that we are saved by faith. What I meant was that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ

I said Hebrews 10:19-20. I meant to say Hebrews 10:19-22.

I said that if we are in Christ that we have been justified and the Lord loves us. I don't meant to imply that the Lord does not love those who are not yet born again. The Bible is clear that He loves everyone and that it is because of His love that He offers us the opportunity through Jesus Christ to be saved (e.g., John 3:16; Romans 5:6-11). My point was simply that we do not have to earn His love.
