We don’t have to perform any ritual to make up for that which we have done, because the Blood of Jesus Christ has paid the penalty for all that we have done. All we have to do is to repent and return to loving God and our neighbor.

The simple reason that we should devote ourselves to living by Christian principles is that the end time is coming, and we don’t want to be caught off guard. Sin of every form distracts us from being watchful, and dealing with the negative consequences of sin will have us looking the other way as the Day of the Lord comes upon us. Jesus is telling us that it is wise of us to be obedient to the Bible, which is the doctrine of Jesus Christ, in an informed, insightful and intelligent manner, so that we do not miss the signs that the end of time is coming.

Marriage is honorable and fornication and adultery are grounds for judgment. It is the plan of God that husband and wife cooperate with one another in the raising of children. One of the reasons that these young adults see fornication as the norm and feel sanguine in marginalizing the relationships of a father in the life of their children is that they do not recognize this truth.

This is why a man works; we are all going to leave the things of this life behind, but we want our sons to be good husbands and our daughters and the grandchildren they bring us to have the proper care of a good husband.

It does not matter that which you have done to displease the Lord, because there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus. There is only the admonition to start following Jesus’ commandment today. And Jesus’ commandment is to love one another.

If husbands and wives decide to focus on the desires and interests of their spouse rather than just their own interests, and if husbands and wives decide to have more esteem for the desires of their spouses than of their own, like-mindedness between the spouses will develop.

Our sins are forgiven because of the mercy of God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and our love for Jesus because of His goodness to us calls to love one another as He has loved us.

The unsaved are lost, not because of their sin, as we are all sinners, lost or saved, but because of their arrogance, in that they refuse to recognize that they are not good enough to merit God’s Kingdom. Heaven is not a place for good people, but only for the humble people, because only the humble can be saved.
