Voice 2: In most people's minds God is perfect. This makes us wonder how people can ever connect with God! Many religions encourage people to try to be perfect — to get closer to God. Christian⁴ belief is different. When someone becomes a Christian they accept that they will never be perfect! Their connection with God is through Jesus Christ³, who is perfect. They believe that his life and death brings them forgiveness. This makes them acceptable⁵ to God. They become perfect in His eyes through Jesus Christ.

声音2：在大部分人的心中，上帝是完美的。这让我们怀疑人类怎么能和上帝联系到一起！许多宗教都鼓励人们变得完美，以更接近上帝。可是基督教的信仰却不同。人们成为基督教徒以后，他们会接受他们永远不可能完美这个观念！他们通过完美的耶稣基督和上帝联系。他们认为，他的生和死给他们带来了宽恕。这让他们被上帝所接受。通过耶稣基督，他们在上帝的眼中变得完美。
