Perhaps the other religions may have a better grasp on the subject of grace than do many Latter-day Saints. God's grace is unmerited. We are undeserving of His blessings, despite all that we do to make ourselves worthy. But if that is so, then why do we put such stress on the idea of worthiness? That question implies that we either are saved by God's unmerited grace or we are saved by our efforts to emulate Christ. However, the truth is that we are saved by both our efforts and by God's unmerited grace.

I think you nailed it MagiChristmas.

Hi Hag, how are ya? I recently started listening/watching a pastor by the name of Arnold Murray. I know what you're probably thinking when you hear the word pastor, some loud, annoying guy preaching at me asking for donations etc. Believe me, I thought the same thing. Anyhow, he holds a daily bible study which is an hour long. He reads right from the Bible and explains EVERYTHING as he goes along. He is really, really good. Like I said,I know to some the Bible may be a bit confusing, but he explains everything he is reading so that you can understand what's going on. Please check him out. His weekly archive can be found online at http://www.shepherdschapel.com/archive.cfm

I suggest you take out your Bible and read along with him so that you know he is truly reading from the good Book. You don't have to download anything, just click on STREAMING WM to listen to him via Windows Media Player. This man is very kind and tells it like it is without any type of criticism whatsoever. Please do take the time out to listen to him.

God Bless...

Original Message 1 John 3:4 - Whoever commits sin, practices lawlessness.

1 John 3:8 - He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God has been revealed, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

1 John 3:9 Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, for his seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 5: 18 - We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but He who is fathered by God protects him, and the wicked one does not touch him.

Romans 6:22 - But now, being made free from sin, and having become slaves to God, you have the reward of holiness, and at the end, everlasting life.

Matthew 5:48 - You must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. This was Jesus speaking.

So, it would seem that the scriptures themselves do teach us what it means to be "born again," or "born of God."
