Why is Christian character an essential indicator of being saved or rescued by Chrisst? Romans 8:28 says; And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 2 Peter 3;17 says; Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your gaurd so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. and Jude 24 says;To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence woithut fault and with great joy. These verses tell me to keep focused on Christ and be not swayed by what the world has to offer. I say daily in Gods word and study, and one of the biggest help to to try to meorize the verses that I have read, they are my ammunition to fight off what satan put in my way. What Biblical assurance of salvation can I offer the fruitless, barren "beliver." Like 2 Peter 1:10-11 says; "Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure, For if you do these things, YOU WILL NEVER FALL, and you will recieve a rich welcome in the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thie verse along with the others says it all, Keep on Keepping on, and say focused on Christ and Yes somtimes it seems hopless, but remeber Chrsit has been down this road and had victory over it.

Agape Love as we see it is sometning that takes no effort, we have nothing to put out. God's love and Grace gives us a commitment and an direction to go to stay within His Commands. The second greatest commandment is to Love Your neighbor as you love your self. It does not say choose whom you want to love, it teills us to Love. God Does not choose who he is going to Love, He loves all his children who Love the Lord Jesus Christ with all their being. So I don't see a problem, God says do ti, so Do it!!!!! It was written and so let it be done. Gods Love to All To avoid going to Church because someone said something you did not like, is like when you were growing up and the boy/girl down the street said that you were a ?????. You ran home to mommy, wake up and be a Christina and let Tell God to give you the strength to not let it hurt you and carry on, going to church is were we get the strength to face each day. Going to church is my way of charging my batteries for the next week, and if someone said something bad about me, I trun it over to God and Pray.

This Verse speaks to me and tells me that God, in his Holiness has given me the power to forgive those who have done me wrong and at the same time ask them to for give me for causing it. I feel that God has always and will always be my strength and guiding power. I alone can not do anything, except draw strength through his word daily. It is my daily power (his holy word) of strength and guidence
