It is true that in terms of salvation, no one is better than another.

However, in terms of people being obedient to God’s will, some are far, far more obedient, thereby doing more good, than others. Not that the good things done, counts towards “saving” themselves, but it’s the good God wants them to do.

It is also true to say that we all are innately sinful, some are far, far worse and far, far more evil than others in their actions.

And it is perfectly fine to stand up against evil. And evil people.

I am not going to speak in love to the guy who kicks in my door at 2am armed with a gun.

To: Secret Agent Man; All

Amen!!

Lol!! Yet funny enough that in quite sure in faith that if the guy with the gun was your child I’m sure you would speak lovingly as Jesus ordered; as would most people. Only because people would realize something was wrong with their child who they love so much

Yet we fail to realize that JESUS CHRIST, who loved us all ( this is true love), this is love that knows that everyone is someone else’s child, future mother/father, or loved one.

Sin is sin, many give themselves some sort of grandeur ( which is sin) and try to protect their life because they only truly believe in this life. Yet Jesus constantly told us to be focused on heaven not on things here. Focusing on here is why we sin and sin causes death:
LUKE 17:33
33Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.

Who Jesus came for:
LUKE 5:31
31Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

What Jesus issued us to follow as the greatest commandments:
MARK 12:29-31:
29“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.e
30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’f
31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’g There is no commandment greater than these.”

Love to all in the holy precious name of Jesus Christ who lived and reigns forever and ever!! Amen!!

GOD BLESS US ALL,

Jesus4life
