There is no understanding from the workers for Salvation , their ears are deaf , their eyes are blind...
I said it before , they carry a misery about them , it is a heavy spirit , no joy , just doubt...
I don`t know how you , mailman etc don`t feel the weight from them , they make me feel heavy just reading their post with question after question , never coming up with answers to the truth of the word of God...
Jesus said " It is finished "
It is God who gives us all we need to follow Jesus , to abide in Him , and through Him we obey , do good works that He has called us to do...
I sometimes can`t swing my sword high enough at the workers , I praise God for all you brother and sisters in Christ who swing without missing , sometimes I feel like Peter did when he chopped off the mans ear , but I know I cannot behave like that
xox...

Why?
How do you turn if don't realize you are wrong? If you think you are right, why would you turn and take another direction at all?
It is the presence of the law (God's command) that bring sin to the fore. Without the law there's no sin.
Rom 5:13For sin was in the world before the Law was given; but sinis not taken into account when there is no law.
Rom 4:15becausethe Law brings wrath. And where there is no law,there is no transgression.

Amen, Rose
our job is for us to let our Light to shine, and it shines brightest when we Love one another and others -
speech should always be with Grace and we should always let our actions present Christ's ways for others to witness -
the 'best-witness' is the 'CHANGE' from our 'old-lives' to our 'New-Lives', this is the evidence of our total surrender
and obedience to our Holy Saviour...
what a Blessed opportunity Christ has given to you as a Grandmother...

welllllll, I can remember when I was 'in-the-world', and I used to say the old adage,
'Nobody's perfect'; back then, almost everyone realized that they made different degrees of mistakes & mis-judgments,
life was strewn with them - for one thing, 'we both STOPPED functional 'stealing' all on our own, maybe for the wrong
reasons, but we DID STOP', remember, this was 'before conversion'...
but,
when God started leading us into 'repentance', we STOPPED DOING 'sinful-behaviours', not all at once, but it was our 'start' -
the point is, we started TURNING AWAY from worldly sinful, learned, behaviours because we became CONVICTED/SORRY
for going against Jesus' Will', how He required us to live anew...
we were 'convicted' and began to go through the 'process of change', Praise God!!!
and now, we certainly understand that 'God led' us to Repentance' through His Holy/Sacrificial/Blood/Love'...

It seems you cannot respond to what I am actually saying in favor of trying to cover up the fact that you are the one who left God out of your definition of repentance. People can know they are not perfect aside from any knowledge of their standing before God, and to deny this fact? Well, you are simply in denial.

I just came back from jogging. While running I thought of my conversation with him. I prayed for him, and like all of us, only want the best for him. The best would be to have the scales removed from his eyes and heart so that he may see and rejoice in the free gift of irrevocable grace we have in Jesus.
