just as You are

When God created man, He built it an eternal body. Nevertheless, the reason you get tired, injured, and sick easily is to reveal death before you and to let you know the true nature of the sin hidden within you. So do not sell your body to sin to escape death. For you will be bound by death for the rest of your life and serve as the end of sin. Rather, present yourself to God just as you are, tired, injured, and sick. Then, even if you do not know God, He will save you from your sin and give you eternal life as a gift. Remember, sin treats you as a cheap slave, but God treats you as a precious man.
