I have to think if Jesus decided to tell us something, he didnt do it cause he had nothing else to do. He wanted us to live that way. Thats part of the trick for me, If all you have to do is accept Jesus as your savior, there's not much point of anything else written...you're in the club!


The operative words are "in their heart" Our works prior to accepting Christ can never get us there only the acceptance of Christ as our Savior, in our hearts will. And in the end it matters not what humans think about the supposed unsavoury among us, God will know their hearts.
It begs the old question, if Hitler, in his heart, accepted Christ as his Savior, in the bunker or wherever he was prior to his death?????

Once accepting Christ then we have much work to do.

The problem is the crazy little thing called sin. Some are big and some are small to us but God sees them as sins and has forgiven them. Yes Jesus does want us to live by His word and none do, so the death of Christ, on the cross, resolved the issue for God not humans. It is His world, His Universe, His Eternity, His everything and we can only live by Faith. He decides what will happen and that is a part of the whole believing thing that is hard to take.

Creators of music have a responsibility to their craft. When they have finished using all the notes and words, they must pass them down to the next generation with a simple request. “Use these to create new music.”...Steven McDonald
