There is no roll call, no yonder. Each is on one's own.
Those who doubt for fear of unsuitability or from past wounds incurred in the search for this love, worry needlessly ..
Those who arrogantly profess to be deserving, rarely are ...
I hate to speculate about the unknown Bob, bad ju-ju! I guess I'll just wait till my # is called!
Have the "right" to be there? I don't know about having a "right" to be there, but I'll be there nonetheless, for as it is written:
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
Ephesians 2:1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
This idea assumes a God that is not even smart enough to organize a simple educational field excursion and get all of the student home safely.
How likely is that?
The idea that God was not smart enough to have come up with a plan to get everyone back home safely 100% of the time is just a simple lack of faith.
Trust that the real God had this figured out long before any of us ever got here. That is what real faith looks like.
Love and blessings Don
