When I entered one of the dental centres here in Kaitaia, it did not take me long to see the big letters “BUT I’M INNOCENT”  on the front cover of a magazine.

Guess, what came to my mind? Romans 3:19 came to my mind, where it says:

“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.” – Romans 3:19 Authorized (King James) Version

I know that I am guilty before God.

In the first three chapters of Paul’s letter to the Romans we read that the entire human race is surrounded by the insurmountable wall of universal guilt.

We have offended God and therefore we  are under condemnation. All must plead guilty.

The magazine mentioned above is called “NORTH & SOUTH” and “BUT I’M INNOCENT” is all about “New Zealand’s shameful record of wrong imprisonment – and why it could happen to you.” (December 2010)
