It is R.C.Sproul who wrote,, that Abraham was not a paper saint,he had feelings common to humanity/,it is important to remember, that although ,God,chooses the Abraham's,Davids,Peters,and Paul's,He is choosing imperfect human beings.The world gets carried away with their heroes,I remember going to visit a person in their home, and there in their living room was a life size cut out of a famous film star.He was he one of my favourite actors,but he had more than his share of adulteress relationships,which inevitable led to him being divorced. Now as to those people like Abraham,we are dealing with human beings,this goes for saints of note ,outside the Bible.I have read many books as regards missionaries,and great preachers,and sometime the writers, write a very romanticised account of their lives.Now it is important to say that for all their faults like Jonah,David or Peter they where men of God,and we should honour their memory,and as much as they followed Jesus,we follow their godly example. These great saints were all without exception accepted by a Holy God,on the same bases that you and I are accepted by grace through faith alone in Jesus.God honoured them, but He has recorded their failings,so to remind us that relationship with Him is not on the bases of achievements.This reminds us that, that which saves and brings us into a place of acceptance is grace,so if you are not saved,you can be, by simply coming to God in all your need, and to be forgiven,through grace,and faith in Jesus.
A prayer......./Dear God we thankYou that we can all without exception be accepted by You.by grace through faith in Jesus ,Amen /
