"I am a Christian by choice...I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead. Being my brothers' and sisters' keeper. Treating others as they would treat me. And I think also understanding that you know that Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility that we all have to have as human beings... Humans are sinful and flawed beings that make mistakes and achieve salvation though the grace of G-d...We also can see G-d in other people and do our best to help them find...their own grace...So that's what I strive to do. That's what I pray to do everyday. I think my public service is part of that effort to express my Christian faith." - President Barack Obama, September 28th 2010
