At the core...

Was having dessert with my bro-in-law yesterday and had one of those random profound conversations. He does indeed have an opinion about everything - as I always joke with him about. Anyway this was what he said:

"At the core of every man, is a bastard".

Hahahha... I thought that was hilarious coming from a man but yet, how true. :P He went on to say that the forms of the 'bastard' could be a lying bastard, selfish bastard, cheating bastard etc. etc... you name it. So I asked "Is there no good man out there anymore?".. and he replied that a good & mature man would be one who acknowledges that he has the potential to be a bastard, thus exercises self-control, and is honest and sincere about it & faces the consequences of his actions.

So may I add, the worst kind of man is one who does not admit that he could be a bastard, performs bastardly acts and covers them up with lame excuses to avoid facing the consequences...and to top it off, thinks he has done the right thing. :)

May you girls out there not meet those kind of men, and may you men out there not turn out to be those bastards. :P

You can also argue that "at the core of every woman is a bitch" and the worst kind of woman is one that does not acknowledge she's a bitch? :p

hahaha

Well, we could say that at the core of every man is x and the core of every woman is y, but the reality is:

At the heart of every person -- male and female -- is disgusting, rotting sin.

"None is righteous, no, not one;
no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one."
"Their throat is an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive."
"The venom of asps is under their lips."
"Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness."
"Their feet are swift to shed blood;
in their paths are ruin and misery,
and the way of peace they have not known."
"There is no fear of God before their eyes."
(Romans 3:10-18)

In fact, our sin is so gross and filthy that we have absolutely no hope when it comes to meet a just and righteous God on the day of judgment.

Except that God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for us, so that our worthless sins can be substituted with His pure and perfect righteousness.

If we put our trust and faith on Christ, we will be spared God's terrible wrath on judgment day but will instead enjoy eternal life and freedom with Him -- despite being gross, filthy, and disgusting sinners on earth.

That, is God's amazing grace.
