“Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt ever without error . . .”

David Augsburger:

Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt ever without error, and nothing we achieve without some measure of finitude and fallibility we call humanness, we are saved by forgiveness.

This quote is a good reminder of why we all need to learn to biblically unpack forgiveness.  I read it in an advance copy of Paul Tripp’s, What Did You Expect , a forthcoming book on marriage. 

If you are married, What Did You Expect? Redeeming the Realities of Marriage, is a book you are going to want to read once it is out.

In the mean time, consider reading something on forgiveness . . .
