Did you know that salvation is granted by faith through grace, given sovereignly by God, and that man has absolutely no free will because of his corrupt nature, and must therefore submit to God's complete power for their salvation?
Did you know that all your sins are forgiven if you are an elect; that good works are the product of faith and not a requisite for salvation, for no man, because of man's corrupt nature, can autonomously do good in God's eyes?

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but shall have eternal life."
John 3:16
"For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified."
Romans 8:29-30

Christianity is not about doing "le good in God's eyes", It's about not sinning, and instead living for Christ. Man is not a sinner by birth, he is a sinner only because he chooses to continue sinning. Simple

One of the many scriptural evidence that we are sinners by nature.i

>and in sin my mother conceived me
How does that translate to
>i was conceived a sinner
I guess you can't read.

I'm afraid it rather means that you cannot read properly some profound thought, and that is probably due to your American background which is intellectually very poor.
