for all have sinned

and fall short of theglory of God,

The Bible tells us that everyone has

sinned, and that even people who act nice

and are happy and well adjusted still fall wayshort of Gods glory. Yet God wants everyone

in His kingdom. He looks at each person,

messed-up as they may be, and sees apotential

agent for His kingdom.

everybody. Just because wehear dramatic stories of peoplewho were converted in a singlemoment doesnt mean its that

way for everyone
