I understand your point. However, I think Christians as part of the human species have submitted themselves to God as " helpless sinners" who need cleansing and restoration. I cannot speak for the rest of the world who don't see themselves as sick.

But I still agree verycmuch with you. If only each one of us can make the world a better place within our sphere of influence as Jesus taught (love your neighbor as your selves) this world would have been a paradise.

Unfortunately, even the children of the light are as much guilty as the world.

Well, till we die and our exam script is marked, I guess we can expect this imperfections in Christians

I do not "think Christians as part of the human species have submitted themselves to God as helpless sinners who need cleansing and restoration".

In fact, Christians, tend not to see themselves as sick since they believe they, in particular, have been cleansed and restored through the redemptive blood of Christ. It is the non-believer who appears sick, dirty and damned, to them I'd say. Though just as much as the believer appears sick, dirty and damned to the non-believer. The salt is not salty on either side.

I think you mean that Christians are arrogant.

Salvation is any sinner coming to God for restoration.
It consist of four different things rolled up in a simple prayer
1. I know that I am a sinner and I am not qualified for your kingdom
2. But I know that you Love me enough to make a sacrifice for my imperfections
3. Write my name in the book of life and put your Holy Spirit in me
4. I promise henceforth to obey, love, honor and do your will


God normally does His own part in step 3, but Christians fail a lot in step 4.

The arrogance you see is because they have come to a faithful God. Unfortunately, they are not representing this God with their lives.

Notwithstanding, their exam sheet will be marked one day and each one reap what they have sown.

I can only say that Salvation is free. Let everyone humble them self enough to go to God for the free gift

No. People are arrogant. A lot of people are, anyway.

I just saw this video and I thought you should watch it.

Not spectacular but it passes the message that miracles still happen.
