Jesus does not offer to make bad people good but to make dead people alive. Ravi Zacharias spiritual christian jesus When you say there's too much evil in this world you assume there's good. When you assume there's good, you assume there's such a thing as a moral law on the basis of which to differentiate between good and evil.

It is a commitment that demands that you deal with your lust, your greed, your pride, your power, your desire to control, your temper, your patience, and every area of temptation that the Bible clearly talks about. It demands the quality of commitment that Jesus demonstrates in His relationship to us. Ravi Zacharias relationship commitment jesus All religions are not the same. All religions do not point to God. All religions do not say that all religions are the same.
