God says to follow him is to be yourself. Satisfy your sinful nature and learn along the way.

You're not supposed to struggle and attempt to make yourself holy, you're supposed to let God heal you.

Like in Romans 2:4—it’s His kindness that leads us to repentance.

You’re not alone in this. Jesus was constantly misunderstood by the religious crowd too.

Quite the opposite. The phrase "the soul that sins shall die" is from Ezekiel 18:4 and 20. It emphasizes individual accountability in the Bible, stating that each person is responsible for their own actions and will face consequences for their sins. When we satisfy our own sinful nature, that is selfishness, not following Christ, but sinning any way we want.

@LadyGrace Luke 5:31-32 New King James Version (NKJV)
Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
