('New every morning is the love')
Romans 5 v.1-2
**********
I true believe in Christ the Son
Work of salvation He has done
Upon the cross He died for me
That I from all my sins be free
And so by faith we justified
Who all in Christ believe, confide
And thus have peace with God, 'tis through
Jesus the Son, for me and you
By Jesus too we have access
By faith into God's grace no less
And stand herein, in hope rejoice
To share His glory, we His choice
Come to me, Spirit, where heart be
Selfish, do search, that willingly
I turn from my will unto you
And do what you desire anew
I cannot my good works now bring
To you that they me save, nothing
Shall avail save Christ's death for me
Risen with Him I redeemed be
No punishment, no purgatory
Of self, no use shall it be see
Fro Christ does save, and He alone
My place takes, does for me atone

A comfort, I hope - not a 'licence to sin' though. Our good works follow salvation, but do not earn it. This is my Christian/Protestant/CofE view.
Good write Orchi. But you know my current feelings about Christianity are at odds with this.
Thanks Gold.
I do so hope all those who have a spiritual figurehead find the peace they need, in their beliefs... N
Thanks N. I do get dogmatic sometimes (woof says Fido: an automatic dog?), or call it 'fundamental'. But I can't see the way ahead in life by depending on self.
Meanwhile, a guy got too intense about life. He went to the doc about it. Doc said 'Well, stop camping then, and living in tents'(intense)! lol. Is that the sort of doc we need?
you are far from being alone in that thought Orchidee... I think that is where my path has the upper hand .. there not being any single great architect of the universe, but rather a way of life and living that provides rewards along the way to eventual enlightenment ....
Thanks UNCLE STEVE ~ Leasurly lunch break (no students !). Love the hymn singing acapulco to serenade the TECHNICIANS while they *Summer Clean* the LABS !
Therfore having been justified by FAITH
We have PEACE with GOD
And rejoice in the hope of the GLORY of GOD
We also have access by FAITH into the GRACE we enjoy 24/7 !
Romans the Greatest BOOK in the Greatest BOOK ~ AMEN
