And as time marked its days
And went by, Adam and his wife Eve
Came together and had another son
And they named their third son Seth.
~0~
Having Seth helped them both cope
At least some with the sorrow and pain
Inflicted by their elder son Cain
Killing their second younger son Abel.
~0~
So it came to pass that Adam was well into years
He was by now 130 years old
When he produced with Eve, their third son
Seth was just like his Father in many ways.
~0~
And right after this time it came to pass
That Adam and his wife Eve
Came together again
And had many daughters and sons.
~0~
As for Seth he was 105 years old
When his first son Enosh was born
He too had many sons and daughters
Then Seth died at the age of 912.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

- HOW TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR -
A salvation prayer, known by many Christians as a 'Sinners Prayer,' is a prayer one would say to repent from sin, ask God for forgiveness, confess belief in Jesus Christ, and accept him as Lord and Savior. Saying a salvation prayer is the first step in your personal relationship with God.
If you believe the Bible offers truth about the way of salvation, but you have not taken the step to become a Christian, it's as simple as praying this prayer. You can pray by yourself, using your own words. There is no special formula. Just pray from your heart to God, and he will save you. If you feel lost and don't know what to pray, here's a salvation prayer that you can follow:
Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don't please you. I have lived my life for myself only. I am sorry, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me.
I believe that You died on the cross for me to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to You now and ask you to take control of my life; I give it to You. From this day forward, help me to live every day for You and in a way that pleases You.
I love you, Lord, and I thank You that I will spend all eternity with You.
Amen.
If you have just prayed this prayer, congratulations!:))
You have received Christ as your Savior and have made the best decision you will ever make—one that will change your life forever!
Grace is God's favor and love shown to mankind. We can't earn it or be good enough to deserve it. To truly appreciate grace, we must comprehend that our Father is …
Perfectly holy. God is without fault. When Adam and Eve chose to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree, their connection with God was broken. Since all future generations inherited their sinful nature, every person is born with an inclination toward unrighteousness.
Just. As a result, God requires payment for sin. The penalty is death (Rom. 6:23), not just physically but also spiritually—through eternal separation from Him.
Merciful. God doesn't treat us as we deserve but extends His grace through the Savior. Jesus lived a perfect life and fulfilled the Law. He alone qualified as the One who could satisfy divine justice. He took our place, bore our sins, and experienced God's wrath—all so we could be reconciled to the Father.
God made this provision for our salvation while we were still sinners (Rom. 5:8). Have you acknowledged your sinful state and received His forgiveness through faith in Jesus? Take time to express thankfulness for His grace.
-The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.
Matthew 11:5, NIV-
Inspirational author Orison Swett Marden believed that discouragement was one of the germs that kill “the prosperity and happiness of tens of thousands of people” every year. Everyone faces discouraging events. When our expectations or hopes collapse, it's like a punch in the stomach. But Proverbs 25:25 says, “Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land” (NIV).[1]
When we're living for the Lord, there is always a silver lining. Somewhere there's a Romans 8:28 moment.
When John the Baptist grew discouraged, Jesus sent him a word of Good News! So if you're discouraged right now, look around quickly for something good from God. For why should you feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should your heart feel lonely when Jesus is your portion, your constant friend? You can say with the hymnist, “His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.”
There's no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to
do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
-1 John 4: 18
When do you find yourself feeling pressured to believe fear is greater than love? How might your relationships with others change if you believed you don't need to be afraid?
Loving God, thank You for Your Love. Help us to trust in and follow Your Light and Love even when the way gets dark.
-Lord Jesus, as You sat looking over Jerusalem, You wept.
Give me the same compassion for those who have not accepted Your remedy and been BORN AGAIN.
