"What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." ..."whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." Between these verses and the reiteration of most of the ten commandments, I might as well just give up. The young man in Matthew 19 is wondering what good thing shall he do to obtain eternal life. The 'good' things that Christ named, I have not been able to do, and neither had the young man. So what then? The disciples were wondering the same thing so they asked, "Then who shall be saved"? Amen...thank-you disciples because what Jesus says here, changes everything!
"With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." v. 26
Salvation is only possible through divine grace.
I always thought the above quoted verse was about...well, I don't know what I thought it was about except that it said that all things are possible with God (it's quoted a lot)...but what it was really saying in context was that salvation was only possible with God...we can't save ourselves, we are just not good enough.
Revelation!
This is my prayer for all the young people in my life. Choose carefully. And with whom you do choose, don't take the commitment lightly. Want to please God.
