ACIM Lesson 337 Contemplation

"My sinlessness protects me from all harm."
This lesson highlights that recognizing our sinlessness is the key to experiencing perfect peace, eternal safety, and everlasting love. It teaches that our true nature, as created by God, is one of innocence and love, and that any perception of harm or guilt is merely a dream. By accepting Atonement for ourselves, we acknowledge that we are not mistaken about our true identity and that our sinlessness protects us from all harm.
