I just watched the President giving the Congressional Medal of Honor to a man of extraordinary love and courage, who rescued about half of his comrades who had been wounded in a very intense attack in Vietnam. In hearing about what this wonderful man did so selflessly for four days caring for the wounded while he himself was badly wounded and constantly in life danger I have to reflect on my own small existence and the little sphere of influence God has charged me with. No greater love has anyone than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Jesus came down from heaven and exposed Himself to the absolute cruelest hatred and violence and death to rescue us! There have been some very wonderful brothers and sisters who have walked in His steps likewise sacrificing themselves for love and righteousness and truth. May the Lord help us to be like Jesus our Saviour, and like those many brave and honorable Saints who laid down their lives unselfishly for us!

Think again. Good works don't send you to Heaven. But, only one thing does. FAITH.

Very True Rupthurn, Salvation is indeed a Free Gift and it is impossible to please God without Faith Hebrews11:6 but Faith without doing God's Good Works is dead James 2:17-18 and Mathew 25:31-46 but not meaning those works motivated by the Carnal Flesh but by our Love for God and for others. Christian Love Always Anne or as many call me now Grannie Annie.
