None of us are perfect. But Jesus perfect sacrifice on the cross at Golgotha paid the penalty of sin for us so we don't have to go to hell. He rose again and is making palaces for His believers. We are saved by His grace, not by our own works no matter how hard we try. Our sins are wiped clean from the slate, never to be remembered again. We as followers of the Master, become new creations. We can call on His Name and be born again. Washed in His blood, covered by His righteousness, illuminated by His Holy Spirit, we can follow His precepts, love, forgive, protect and defend, teach, preach, exhort, do exploits in His Name and ultimately be in heaven with Him after we're dead.
And the devil is a defeated enemy, whose teeth were broken at the cross, so he cannot defeat us when we receive the Messiah to ourselves.
There is a reason that many churches were planted by the apostle Paul in Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Thrace, Italy and Spain, by his own hand and by others working with him.
Not only the seven churches referred to in prophecy in the APOCALYPSE but many other churches referred to in his letters to the believers throughout the Graeco-Roman world.
God wanted to save the peoples all over the world, and that included a tiny little island east of Rome, south of Thessalonika, Troas and Philippi, west of Jerusalem, Antioch and Damascus, and north of Miletus and Ethiopia.
It was the Isle of Lesbos.
