When my mother was five years old, she heard a preacher at a revival talk about sin and how Jesus would take all a person’s sins away if she asked. She walked to the front of the church and asked.

But Jesus paved the way to salvation. Our flesh is weak, but His grace grants mercy. Aren’t you grateful for the gift Jesus gave at Calvary?
