"This
is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the
world so we might live through him. "
1 John 4:9
When you finally peel back all the layers, you find out that "we" (humans)
are part of the problem not part of the cure. Mankind is like Windows
98, we both have built in flaws. Contrary to popular (church) thinking,
we at CLA don't think that "self-improvement" is the
key to life. We think the opposite. We think that Jesus would have
us minimize our role daily, eventually getting to the point where
we don't even enter the equation.
The truth is that salvation is completely one sided. Jesus is
choosing you this very moment even though you may not even be looking
for Him. The truth is that your life doesn't need to get better
before God can be with you. CLA is full of people who have experienced
the life-changing power of God's great love.
2000 years ago, God, out of his great love for us, sent his son
Jesus to fix the problem once and for all. So now people like the
people that worship at CLA can have fellowship with the God of
all creation. What an amazing gift. A gift that none of us even
knew how to ask for.
