JAG Writes:
God has a saving-plan for the world.
Humanity is in serious death-trouble due to the entrance of sin and sin's death worldwide.
Not even the Jewish Law {Moses} could defeat Death and bring Eternal Life.
But God is the kind of Person that will go straight into the pain to rescue others with a plan to rescue humanity from Sin and Death through the crucifixion-death and Resurrection of His Son the Lord Jesus.
The Lord Jesus has conquered Sin and Death for us all.
Because He lives, we too can live. Eternal Life has been brought to this dying death-ridden world and in the end Grace and Mercy will triumph over Judgment.
The Lord Jesus says, Behold I stand at the door and knock.There is a new worldwide universal Christian family daily being gradually created -- now numbering over 2.3 billion worldwide 21st century -- and with untold mega-billions yet coming.
The Sovereign God does nothing on a small dinky scale -- just look up into the Heavens and know there is an estimated 10/24 stars {10 followed by 24 zeros}. God is great and He has a Huge-Enormous Great Plan to save the world.
"I am making everything new", said the Lord Jesus, and so , , ,
, , , here is how human history ends:
"Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Rev. 21:3-4
So?
So Victory for the Lord Jesus and Victory for the Good and Great Plan of God to save, rescue, and restore fallen sinful death-ridden humanity.
"I have told you these things so that in Me you you may have peace. in this world you will have trouble. But take heart. I have overcome the world."__The Lord Jesus {John 16:33}
"I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD" ___ The Lord Jesus

Amen!
Sounds good to me! Thank you for the encouragement.
Yes. Jesus by His death and Resurrection has opened up Heaven and purchased for us the opportunity for eternal life with Him.
Our choice is to either follow Jesus or follow the ways of the World.
To follow Jesus, we are baptized and keep His commandments and have faith in Jesus Christ and His teachings (all of them). We return His love by our actions of loving Him and our neighbors by the way we live and act including our charity to others.
Jesus left us Himself in the Eucharist, his teachings, His Catholic Church, the Mass and the 7 Sacraments for our salvation.
Our other choice is to follow the ways of the world by continuing our sinful ways, rejecting His Truth and teachings and following false beliefs.
As Jesus told us “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find are few.” Matthew 7: 13-14
I do think that this worldwide communist plot which is been unveiled through this fake virus bull crap has woken up a lot more people to spirituality than otherwise would’ve happened
Wherever you go in this world whether it be around in the hostility from the Islamic terrorists or China and true communist terrorists you see the strongest and most fervent Christians
Where there is no oppression then you merely have your own sinful nature to combat ; and that’s a very difficult process for people to deal with
When there’s an oppressive outside force taking away your freedom your freedom to worship your freedom to believe - that’s when the true test is performed
