“As sin reigned in death, grace also will reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 5:21
King death dethroned.
King grace enthroned forever.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37–40
The great aims: that he be loved supremely and that we be loving radically.
To accomplish this is why the Law and the Prophets exist.
…I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.”
Rev3:17-18 Part2 of2

"The Lord did not withdraw to some distant corner of the universe; He is present in the spirit of every believer. When we search His Word, when we stop to hear His voice, we will hear from Heaven." —Billy Graham
The riddle.
“Why should I fear in times of trouble,
when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me,
those who trust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?” Psalm 49:5–6
The solution.
“Man in his pomp will not remain;
he is like the beasts that perish. . . .
But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will receive me.” Psalm 49:12, 15
Man is made in the image of God. Friends bring now your continence up and look to God for help. Have faith in him. If you believe in his Son and the Word of his testimony, God has forgiven you in his Son. Let not your past hold you, believe in him. Jesus
@Truth_matters20 Do you not think waters have a spirit to listen and obey? They do. And if the Sun, Moon and Waters had their will be done, we would all perish to wipe out the sins of the world forever. But God is patient and willing that all should come to repentance.
The total freedom of unconditional grace.
“It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you. But it is because he loves you” (Deuteronomy 7:7–8).
He loved them because he loved them.
“I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy” (Exodus 33:19).
@TexasPreacher practicing anything theologically that literally orders believers to kill all non islamics or make some kind of war to eliminate them or conquer the opposing side.
“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Paul spoke the word of the Lord to him and household. The guard washed their wounds, and immediately he and all was baptized. Acts 16:30-33 paraphrased
@sola_chad This is not Christian thought. The Christian desires that all come to repentance and belief in the Lord. Justice comes where justice is due, only as the final option of the defiance of man that cause danger and death to others who are made in the image of God.
