Did you know that 17% of people violate tax code when filing their returns and most of these are treated as honest mistakes? Only 1 out of 45,455 people not following the rules are convicted of tax crimes.1
With a complex tax code, nearly everyone that violates the tax code is given grace by the government. Contrast this to the grace that God gives to 100% of all human beings. It doesn’t matter what sins we’ve committed in the past, the blood of Jesus was shed for ALL and He will forgive us when we ask (1 John 1:9).
