Bible Note: Thank you, Tim, for your note and comment. Like you, I don't even pretend to understand how anyone who once having had a saving relationship with Jesus could deny Him. But Peter did. And, from your story about your brother-in-law, he apparently did. Peter came back. And I believe that so too will your brother-in-law, if his conversion was truly genuine -- and that is a matter on which we must not and dare not speculate or attempt to judge. But by faith we know that God's love is boundless and His capacity for forgiveness beyond our comprehension. We have no power but the power of prayer to bring your brother-in-law back into the fold. So we pray, we trust, and we wait on the Lord, comforted in the knowledge that with our awesome and mighty God all things are possible. Even the restoration of your brother-in-law to fellowship with Him. Blessings Tim, in the love and grace of Jesus Christ. --Hank |
