From slavery to sexism, how can Christians make amends for social sins?

24. But I am a sinner

Whether by my standards or the standards of my religion, I've clearly sinned. I can blame the world around me - and it's true that it as an imperfect being it is very difficult if not impossible to avoid sinning entirely, but I think that's letting myself off the hook.

I think you are also conflating forgiveness and love - they are not the same thing. One can love someone, but still disapprove of their actions. If you watch someone make the same mistake again and again, something that will hurt them down the road, you can't necessarily approve that, but you still love them and hope they don't continue down that path. If humans are capable of doing that, than why not God?
