    What is the standard?

    What standard do you believe as a Christian God has in our everyday walk with him? People believe different ways right? I realize we all sin but at the same time do you believe that we can just intentionally live like we want to and everything will be okay? Maybe we do not get to heaven by works or being a good person, but must change occur in order to be a follower of Christ?Must the Old man and the old ways pass away?
