Now about the % of who and who do not represent God and Jesus. That is a constantly changing variable. Even some very good Christians are not always representing Christ. That is when later they repent to God and those individuals they infringed upon. And a good Christian forgives the same as God has forgiven their sins. A good christian is your average person who is learning. So not every Christian is on even keel. Some are ahead of their brothers and sisters while others may be behind. In all relgions this will be true and everyone makes mistakes as its human nature. The question is do we want to change or not. This is repentance. Jesus was calling people to repent and change their ways. He wanted to know the state of their heart or desire. Did they desire to be like his father (righesousness, peace, love, justice, help for the needy, spend time the sick in spirit) or did they desire their lusts more (selfishness, hate, condemn others by the law and then be imperfect them selves, lovers of injustice or revenge, care less for their brothers well being to satisfy them selves.) And by his Holy Ghost and Relationship with God he empowers them to make that change but they have to want it or all they will natualy server their lusts and of course some good. Its our imperfect nature that determines we need Gods forgiveness but if we reject his method of giving it out then we reject his salvation. Ultimately this is what makes the final decision and God is the ultimate judge in the end.

yes it is those christians who have to over come those aspects in their life that will need Jesus grace just as we all at some point will require Jesus grace and confess to our bothers we did the wrong thing and seek God to help us change. If its in our hearts to do so.

This part - "selfishness, hate, condemn others by the law and then be imperfect them selves, lovers of injustice or revenge, care less for their brothers well being to satisfy them selves" - defines far too many of them.

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!!!! You have an excellent definition of a Christian.
Unfortunately, there are many Christians who are (selfish, hateful, and condemning.)
Only God has the ultimate right to judge an to condemn.

thank you for a beautiful lesson. i work on my problems
everyday through the RUACH HAKODESH. i can't
change myself without salvation and redemption of my
sins. i work on my spiritual stupidity all the time. and work
on my blindness; others don't believe because of my sins.
on that lies all my guilt.
