LETTERS: HERE'S COMFORT FOR THOSE WHO ARE SEARCHING

To the editor:

We are living in an upside-down world, and people are searching for something to cling to for comfort and peace. I thought this clipping from a church bulletin might fit:

"How does a person know he is accepted by God?

"A person isn't saved by what he does. A person is saved when God gives him the gift of faith. It is a faith that believes that God cares so much for people that he sent his only son into the world to die on a cross. Jesus paid for your sins, the sins of your parents and the sins of your children. For those who believe this, there is no condemnation for their sins. You can rest in knowing that Jesus is your Savior. In response to this gift of faith from God, we live in thankfulness, hope and goodness."
