Willing to Deal With the Dirty

Our Father...

—Matthew 6:9

cf. Romans 3: 10—18:
There is no one righteous, not even one;
there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.
Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.
The poison of vipers is on their lips.
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.
Their feet are swift to shed blood;
ruin and misery mark their ways,
and the way of peace they do not know.
There is no fear of God before their eyes.

& Romans 5:8:
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
