The way I look at it is like this: As long as I am finding favor in God's eyes, I have nothing to fear.
Just curious Lady Liberty, how do you know you are finding favor in God's eyes?
Poppers,
I will only know for sure when my life is over and I am standing before God and his Son. However based on what Jesus said, I feel confident...as Jesus said you had to have Faith and Love for salvation. I try to live by those two things, and I am confident in his promise. Jesus knows I am imperfect, but he can also read my heart...and that's where my faith comes in. Too..over and over I have had my prayers answered...which confirms to me I am finding God's favor. But again..who ever KNOWS for sure...but I am comforted in his promise.
Sincerely,
Lady Liberty
