Who says you are not qualified to be embraced and held tight by the Lord God?

Sadly, there's also the embedded parable of the Elder Brother.

Perhaps it is right to celebrate when others think you shouldn't be as free as you are.

John Chapter 5:1-12

Faith is Victory over the World
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God, and everyone who loves the father loves [also] the one begotten by him. In this way we know that we love children of God when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith. Who [indeed] is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the son of God?
This is the one who came through the water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and blood. The spirit is the one that testifies, and the Spirit is truth.
So there are three that testify, the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and the three are of one accord.
If we accept human testimony of God is surely greater. Now the testimony of God is this, that he has testified on behalf of his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony God has given about his son. Whoever possesses the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not have life.

Gary do you not believe that you possess the Son of God? May God Bless you Gary <3 :)

Girl -

Don't you have homework to do or something? hahahaahaha Just messing with you shorty. Good questions and bring them on then, shu, we love quetions.

None are righteous before God, but the ones who have been washed by the blood of the lamb. Angels rejoice with each person who is saved, so how much more should we rejoice at such a miraculous act.


Luke 15:8
"Or imagine a woman who has ten coins and loses one. Won't she light a lamp and scour the house, looking in every nook and cranny until she finds it? And when she finds it you can be sure she'll call her friends and neighbors: 'Celebrate with me! I found my lost coin!' Count on it—that's the kind of party God's angels throw every time one lost soul turns to God."

hahaha homework this is my homework to read the word of God and engage with others :) I live by whatever brings me closer to God and if doing school work like Calculus (which in my opinion is not tasteful) keeps my mind off of Him then that is not my wish :) plus i already have ideas in my head for all the homework that must be done...I am multitasking lol even if I "fail" i am still alive :) yes yes i know take care of myself but taking care of myself entails discussions about God lol my soul is satisfied in one of these ways so yeee i will def have many questions :)

Build your faith and test it ... what is righteous? :)

Romans 1:16-17

16.For I am not ashamed of the gospel. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: for Jew first, and then Greek. 17. *For it it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith; as it is written, "The one who is righteous by faith will live."
