Although we still continue to sin because of our sin nature in the flesh, He is swift and just to forgive us our sins as we ask for forgiveness. Come quickly, Lord Jesus! God bless you too,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-67860158084108418912020-10-05T10:14:32.567-07:002020-10-05T10:14:32.567-07:00Hi Laurie, yes we have a wonderful Saviour Who bec...Hi Laurie, yes we have a wonderful Saviour Who became sinful flesh, though He was without sin (the sin is in the flesh), and was crucified so that we might have forgiveness of sin and be born in the Spirit. The more I learn God's ways through His lovely Word the less I will be would even want to sin. I want to become just like Him, and so look forward to Him coming back. God bless.

Amen and Amen! No one deserves Heaven,...Dear Frank,<br />Amen and Amen! No one deserves Heaven, but through God's grace and mercy, it is freely available through Christ's imputed righteousness to all who believe.<br />The vignette in the blog post is based on my son and daughter-in-law's account of the evening that he proposed to her at the penthouse restaurant at One Rockefeller Plaza, New York City. He is quite the foodie and they both enjoyed lavish and trendy restaurants, at least before COVID. On our last family vacation, we enjoyed dining sumptuously in a castle in Ireland, which was quite an experience!<br /><br />My husband and I used to eat out often, but typically in modest restaurants. We started cooking at home to meet the demands of his optimal health diet and have continued throughout the pandemic, and I do find that we eat better and less expensively and enjoy it more.<br /><br />Thanks as always for sharing your Scriptural viewpoint and experience. God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-43115090409569717192020-10-04T10:38:33.514-07:002020-10-04T10:38:33.514-07:00Dear Laurie,

If this is not true, then there will be nobody in Heaven now or would ever be, as we all sin, even after conversion.<br />I thank and praise God for imputed righteousness God gives to everyone who believes. Forensic acquittal.<br />This means that God the Father sees each one of us in the same way he sees his only Son. <br />But as for the top-class restaurant, I think I would feel a degree of discomfort in such an environment, mainly due to everything being too perfect and spoiling such purity with a sauce stain. Give me fried cod and chips (fries?) wrapped in a white sheet of paper which I could eat sitting on a park bench. Mmm! Unbeatable!<br />May God bless both you and Richard.Frank E.
