 | You believe Jesus Christ
is the Savior of the world.
And you believe people need to be saved.
Have you trusted Jesus Christ to save you?
Vast numbers of people
who believe Christ is the Savior
have not trusted him to save them.
Rather,
they have trusted a church,
or rituals, or deeds
to make them right with God.
But Christ is the Savior,
not those other things.
In his great love for us,
he reconciled us to God on the cross;
he took our place,
paid for our sins,
became our righteousness.
If you will trust Christ to save you,
he will save you and give you eternal life.

meaning - which is terrible enough. To shoot the woman, to challenge
her, to despise her, all this would only serve to render the poor man

is admired more than man, because it is more than was expected of her.
If she is betrayed, all the pathos is on her side; but if a man is
deceived one has scant sympathy and little patience while he is present
- and laughs at him when his back is turned.
Look you, therefore is it advisable betimes to consider woman as a joke.
The entertainment she affords is simply incomparable. Let one consider
her a fixed quantity and one's self a relative one; let one by no means
contradict her, for that would simply be helping her; let one never
doubt what she says but, rather, believe her every word; let one
gallivant about her, with eyes rendered unsteady by unspeakable
admiration and blissful intoxication and with the mincing steps of a
worshiper; let one languishingly fall on one's knees, then lift one's
eyes up to her languishingly and heave a breath again; let one do all
she bids one, like an obedient slave. And now comes the cream of t
