If Jesus loves me just the way I am, why does he ask me to change, to repent of my sins, and to follow Him?
"The Lord Jesus loves me just the way I am, but He loves me too much to leave me the way that I am."
"The good news of the gospel is that Jesus doesn’t loves us just the way we are, he loves us in spite of who we are.
...if Jesus sees us for who we truly are, people ravaged by sin and consumed by selfish desires, yet chooses to not only love us, but to die for us anyway, then his grace, forgiveness, and salvation truly become good news and Jesus truly becomes one worthy of our love and worship." http://theamericanjesus.net/?p=7248As much as I hate to admit it, some change is good.
This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be received,

A world without sin would have no need for a Saviour.
