I am just trying to be positive, and that way the scary posibilities won't bring me down. I am very much bothered by the focus on Gods anger, and punishment and hell....alot of people like that, scaring others, "don't be too happy, cause you are gonna get it", That sort of thing. My mother inlaw is like that, a real Debbie downer. I can't help it, I have decided to think that God loves me, I am special, and my chances are pretty good! |
God loves
YOU! You are His. He created you. God does not create junk.
As to being worthy, no one is, not me, not Italian Stallion, not Starman3000, not anyone.

Romans 3:21-28
21But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
22even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;
25whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;
26for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
27Where then is boasting? It is excluded By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.

Salvation is a gift from God because He wants you to love Him and be His child.
Believe in your heart of hearts in Jesus as your Savior. Make Him your Lord. Live your life in love of God and what He has done for you. Do not be afraid to tell others that you love Jesus and He loves you. You will not be disappointed.
