Saved through Fire

and didn't Jesus indeed say "Thomas, blessed are you because you have seen and believe, but MORE BLESSED are those who don't see and yet believe"?

So, Jesus says right there that those who must see first in order to believe are STILL BLESSED.....but those who don't require seeing in order to believe will be MORE BLESSED.

Those who don't believe in this life because they have not seen, will STILL BE BLESSED when they finally do see and believe in the afterlife, but those of us who don't have to see in order to believe are MORE BLESSED.

Bottom line.....everyone is blessed....some just more than others.

The savior of all men, especially those that believe.

Amen.

My favorite verse. That pretty much says it all.

Another favorite verse.

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]1 John 2 [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]2:2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. [/FONT]

Luk 15:4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

Luk 15:8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

Should we really believe that God would do any less for his own creation?

His love is beyond human comprehension.

Romans 8:38-39

Romans 11:33
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

 

[EchoPneuma]

Bottom line:

God loves us to a degree and depth that we can't comprehend...

and in much a manner that we have a hard time accepting it for what it is.....

Absolute unconditional love is a rare thing indeed....

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]God showed how much he loved us by sending his only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 1 John 4:9-10 NLT[/FONT]

Student,

I like the super hero look. Isn't that one of your designs?
