Bible Note: "AskME" I fall constantly and at age 74 I consider myself a MATURE CHRISTIAN chronologically, not spiritually as I am still on my journey until the day I die. I hope that you may walk on your journey as many years with Christ as I have. Yes, I am well aware of what scripture says, however, after following Christ for nearly 55 years and reading the Bible cover to cover dozens of times, I still find questions that I am not wise enough to answer as Gods word is so wonderfully deep and thought provoking. The longer I stay on this journey, the more I learn and the more I clearly see that I have much more to learn about God Grace towards sinners like me. There is no danger that I will become complacent in my walk with my Savior, he keeps me humble and accutely aware of who I am in him. Thanks for your concern. In His Name |
