Don't Hypocritical Christians Invalidate Christianity? (Phillips)

Romans 7:14-18
1 John 1:5-10

"Christians are hypocrites!" You hear that kind of thing a lot. And while most think we'd object to such a claim, we actually embrace it. Christians are hypocrites and liars and thieves and adulterers and prejudiced and angry and addicted...and, well, you fill in the blank with your "things." We are and fully admit to being...broken. Doesn't that invalidate Christianity? Nope. Christianity isn't dependent on good people, Christianity is dependent on a good God...who takes us, forgives us, molds us, shapes us, changes us, works with us...and puts it on "repeat" as He forgives our short comings over and over again.
