Bible Question:
Rowdy, Rowdy, are you sure? Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men”. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. “For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? … Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple”. |
Bible Answer: PasserBy, I understand your view, but remember, conversion is a process. Those young women are making a transition, like we all are. Remember when God first saved you? Did you go from sinner to perfect saint? No, none of us do. It's a process. It seems that the church these young women are attending is providing the love (of God) needed to grow spiritually. If more churches would focus on loving, instead of preaching with condemnation all the time, more souls will be drawn to God. Just as God has patience and longsuffers with us, we must have patience and long suffer with other souls. Let's celebrate the fact that these young women have chosen Christ and let's pray for them that they fall in love with God to the point that they will make all the necessary sacrifices needed to walk successfully with Him. Freely you have received, freely give. Share what God has shared with you. WalkingTalkingBible |
