The finest theologian of all times was Augustine. He was an unethical, untimely, wild young man. Despite the pleas and prayers of his mother, he grew worse rather than better. But one day he met Jesus Christ in a personal manner that changed his life. He vanished in his restlessness and in his sinful practice. He was one of all time 's great saints. On the West Coast of Africa, John Newton was a human trafficker. He met Jesus Christ one day in a storm on the sea. He returned to England, becoming a priest of the Anglicans. He has written many hymns, including a popular modern song, 'Amazing Grace,' which Christ will do for anyone who puts his faith in Him.
He hath made him to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God
2 Corinthians 5:21
