      The context refers to the humble who are already saved. The Bible was written for believers. It is dangerous to use verses outside of the context in which they were written.

      Sinners can be humbled. The Bible is full of those stories. Even a proud, egocentric king was judged by losing his mind and going out to eat grass in the field like an animal! Yet, he regained his mind, was humbled and God restored him.

      What I beat women and run a prostitution ring. Does Jesus still love me? Your going to make me feel better about myself. I admire your willingness to put out a message on the internet. Maybe you could see that the gospel needs to be preached. Sin, repentance, faith then love. Many souls will die and go to hell. And your message is God loves you. Try being more thorough in your presentation of the gospel. The good news is only good unless we understand the bad news. Judgment is coming to sinners who do not turn from their wicked ways. Did God love Hitler? No. Could Hitler be forgiven? Yes. By understanding his sin, repenting from it accepting Jesus righteousness as payment for his sin. Then God the Father will love him. Telling everyone God loves them is misleading. Maybe you do it for likes and thumbs up

      Profound words indeed. The bible says :
      1 Corinthians 1:17-25 KJV
      For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. [18] For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. [19] For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. [20] Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? [21] For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. [22] For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: [23] But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; [24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. [25] Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
      So even the simplest thought of God is far wiser than any wise man. And the weakest of acts of God are strong compared to even the strongest of men.

      Amen, while invoking His deliverance also work at practical ways to spend time with God such as reading some chapters of the Bible each day, praying after (or before) your readings. Do this each morning as soon as you wake so it becomes the root that feeds your day. If you have trouble praying or keeping your thoughts organized, keep a prayer journal (type in Google docs if you dont have a physical one) and keep track of the things/people(s)/nations you pray for, pleading the Blood of Jesus afterwards - Remember to seek His will not our own. God is Gracious, we rely on His Grace for everything, but He also wants us to work at practical ways to put sins and addictions to death while we seek and rely on His deliverance.

      what fine? our sins? it makes absolutely no sense at all.
      why did god have to send down jesus to die so he could forgive our sins? what's stopping god from, you know, just forgiving it? if he can't he wouldn't be all powerful right? if he doesn't want to, why would the fact that he sends jesus to die change any of that and then why did he do that in the first place?
      also why is jesus dying for our sins considered a sacrifice in the first place?
      it was certain he got a great place in the afterlife and would have an afterlife. so, basically, he still gets to live forever as well? so, what exactly was the sacrifice here? and couldn't it have been done in any other way? why this specific strange and confusing way?

      @@here2learn724 One of the quickest ways to believe something is true is by hearing other people's honest testimonies about the matter. Look up why they believe in Christ and what He did for them. The second way is to study the Bible and history to test everything which will start revealing the prophecies that came true and the truths it shares about ourselves, the world around us and the ways of God. In school man teaches a bunch of theories, made up opinions, or guesses because they have no idea how the world works or where we came from. But the word of God says exactly where we came from, why we're here, how we should live, where we're going and what will happen in the future. Once you know the word, and see it all happening exactly as described in the Bible, you'll believe. Especially when you see miracles and healings. The "Word Of Promise" is an excellent audio Bible which makes it easy to understand...I recommend starting from front-to-back so you're not trying to piece it together later like a puzzle. The UA-cam Channel "One For Israel" has testimonies of Jews that started believing in Jesus and why they did.

      And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
      1 Corinthians 13:4-6
      Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
      James 1:18 ESV
      Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
      Ephesians 4:15
      Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
      John 1:17
      For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
      2 Timothy 3:16-17
      All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
      John 18:37-38
      Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world-to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him.

    Joe reminds me of a younger me: lots of questions, lots of skepticism, and so many things I couldn't understand about God. I pray he'll come to the point of saying, "I give up," and be born of the spirit like I was. I hope to see both of these young men in heaven some day. It was good for me to be reminded that we must put our trust in Jesus like we trust a parachute. It's an active trust. You trust a parachute by putting it on, and you trust Jesus by obeying His commands. Pray for me, I forget this truth so easily. I need more faith, hope, and love.

      @@here2learn724 I gave up the idea that I could think my way to God or "be good" my way to Him. I said (literally, to a friend), "If God wants me to find Him, He'll have to come get me, because I've tried everything, and I can't reach Him." It's a long story, but in His time, He lead me to Himself. Before that, I came back to the promise that all who seek will find and all who knock will have the door opened unto them (Matthew 7:7-8). The verse that really gave me an epiphany was Hebrews 11:6. But there must be an understanding that salvation (or the new birth) is of God and God only. (John 1:13) There must be an understanding that He alone decides whether we live or die. Your eternal fate depends entirely on Him. It's not that I stopped seeking (though I did, for a time), but rather that I sought Him with full knowledge that I would not find Him unless He let me. And, praise His name, He did!
