I agree with the comment about "contrite and humble heart." Indeed, Jesus began his sermon on the amount with: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matt 5:3). The "poor in spirit" are those who understand they cannot achieve salvation of their own accord (as opposed to the "proud of spirit" who think they can/must do it on their own). We come to God because of that realization. And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and that life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life (1 John 5:11-12).

Dear Nancy: It is so amazing that we have such different views of the Father but that from vastly different perspectives all we see is LOVE LOVE LOVE. You say, I see Love from over here. I say , I see Love from way over here. As I have stated over and over on these discussions it is my heartfelt belief and faith in the Father that somehow , someway, God has kept the playing field for all people that have ever lived on the earth, level and even. By this I mean that it would not have been any more or less difficult for anyone to come to Him no matter at what time or place one might have lived on the earth. Disregard, upbringing, race, gender, location, nationality. I feel that for those that have had little opportunity he will expect little, but that those with a lot of opportunity He will expect much. I for one have had a lot of opportunity; the implications are obvious. InChrist.gregor
