----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

On the Anniversary of my birth, I remember my late Dad and Mom who brought me into this world and gave me unconditional love. I love them and missed them so much!
Each day, when I'd come home, whether be from work or an errand, I would find them asleep, with the TV on, holding hands. They've been married for 68 years when my Mom passed 5 years ago. I know that they've continued holding each other's hand when my Dad went to join her 2 years later.
Thank you Dad and Mom! I Love you and I missed you!
This melts me.
The love and the bond these cats have is truly something that needs to be witnessed.
Seeing and hearing the vocalizations of the cubs calling to Misty and Misty to the cubs is something beyond special.
Misty is so attentive to her cubs and Amari that I barely see her rest anymore. i think she must take 10 minute cat naps because she is constantly walking doing head counts that everyone is still where they should be.
If the cubs play too rough with each other or lose sight of Misty they call to her and she goes running.
I feel incredibly honored to be able to witness these behaviours and there is not a second I take it for granted.

Agape
Acrylic paint on terracotta, 25 x 20 cm, 2020
First I drew a horse on clay, and then I painted the board with acrylic paints. Thus was born Agape, the horse of love. Agape (Ancient Greek ἀγάπη, agapē) is a Greco-Christian term referring to unconditional love.
He was 19 and she was 16 when they fell in love 50 years ago this Year.
Life has had its ups and downs but even to this day you can still see the ever growing love they share for each other.
True Love :-)
Have a WONDERFUL Weekend my Friends! I hope your week went well!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind comments and favs!
WHY IS FLICKR ADDING TAGS TO MY PHOTOS?
Isn't that like I'm renting a house from someone and then the landlord goes inside the house when I'm not home and rearrange my furniture? If I am paying my rent, am I not allowed to arrange my things the way I want them? Flickr?

This is a repost, and my favorite...These two eat together and even sleep next to each other..Lady washes Kizzy, our cats head, and Kizzy washes Ladys ears...This to me is Unconditional Love...:)
I faced this impactful scene during my visit to Germany.
I was really impressed by the plethoric show of devotion and love between this beautiful golden retriever and his owner.
I thank both for kindly posing.
Can you see me?
- I know it is dark.
I am here.
- My arms are open.
Do you want to come closer?

Backstory:
I wanted to create a storytelling image. After deciding to use a neutral background, I gathered a white sheet, iPhone, tripod, and remote shutter. I've been using the garage for a makeshift studio, as of late. I made a couple of trips in and out of the space, until I had all the goodies strategically placed. I found a black dress, in the closet, and thought it felt right. I slipped into it, peeled off my socks, and made the last trip to the garage. This creative gathering is all part of the process.
This is image was one of the last ones taken, during this creative time. I set the remote shutter to capture multiple shots. I gathered the sheet, from the floor, and twirled in a small circle. The motion was captured and the play was complete.
Mobile photography offers such a generous platform on which to share such spiritual, storytelling imagery. I'm intoxicated, true story.
I've had this kitchen chalkboard for more than ten years, with this same thing written on it. Even though there were times I had stopped believing, I couldn't erase it.
[This is by far my most popular photo on flickr. I changed the upload date from 12/7/2005 tp 11/25/2008 so that it would appear as my first photo. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.]

I'm talkin bout unconditional love y'all. Not romantic love.
Oscar is a Frenchie and loves to snug with my son Sidney. He thinks that Sidney is his younger brother ^_^
The mother-daughter relationship is one of the strongest and complex bond in the world. It is considered one of the most powerful connections in nature that only mothers and daughters understand and share among themselves.
Rachel, is lucky enough to have 3 of them! all just as beautiful as she is and all 4 of them a pleasure to shoot. really didn't make it feel like work at all - exactly why I love doing what I do!
Don't you think they look like woodland fairies here?

Unconditional Surrender is a series of computer-generated sculptures by Seward Johnson that resemble a 1945 photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, V–J day in Times Square, but is said by Johnson to be based on a similar, less well known, photograph by Victor Jorgensen that is in the public domain. The first in the series was installed temporarily in Sarasota, Florida, then was moved to San Diego, California, and New York City. Others in the series have been installed in Hamilton, New Jersey; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; and Normandy, France. Johnson later identified the sculpture at exhibitions as "Embracing Peace" for the double entendre.
Seward Johnson built a life-size bronze precursor to the huge statues of Unconditional Surrender using a computer, a technology that would be used to manufacture the entire series. A 25-foot (7.6 m)-tall styrofoam version of the statue was part of a temporary exhibition in Sarasota, Florida in 2005, at its bayfront.
Johnson proceeded with the manufacture of aluminum versions of the 25-feet-tall statue, marketing them through a foundation he had created. He offered copies ranging from $542,500 for styrofoam (plastic), $980,000 for aluminum, and $1,140,000 for bronze. Johnson established the Sculpture Foundation to disseminate his work.
After being exhibited in Florida, the plastic copy of the statue was moved to San Diego, California, on a flatbed truck. The second place to exhibit Unconditional Surrender was in Tuna Harbor Park (formerly G Street Mole Park) where the Port of San Diego installed one temporarily in 2007. The statue, made of a foam core with a urethane outer layer, was scheduled to be on loan through August 2010; however, it remained installed until May 2012, when it was dismantled and shipped to New Jersey for restoration.
The placement of the statue was criticized by multiple people. Robert L. Pincus, an art critic of The San Diego Union-Tribune, said that according to "theme-park logic" the statue suited the site, in front of the Midway Aircraft Museum, and that it pleased couples who mimicked the pose, but that it was kitsch and "The figures look like something from a cheap souvenir factory, blown up beyond any reason." Other critics stated that the statue "was not artistically or [a]esthetically pleasing."
Interest in a revisit to Sarasota in 2009 was cultivated by a director of a bay-front biannual show and an aluminum copy was placed at the bay-front, again temporarily. An "88-year-old donor, who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II" offered to pay half a million dollars for it against an initial asking price of $680,000.
While some members of the community supported the statue, others felt the statue was not good enough to be displayed on the bayfront. The chairwoman of the public art committee at the time said that "it doesn't even qualify as kitsch...It is like a giant cartoon image drafted by a computer emulating a famous photograph. It's not the creation of an artist. It's an artist copying a famous image." The statue was immediately controversial, with some people calling for its removal for various reasons, including the fact that it may constitute copyright infringement, as well as concern about its content representing a sexual assault.
Joel May, a Sarasota architect and a member of the city's public art committee, raised an issue of possible copyright infringement, because of the similarity of the sculpture to V–J day in Times Square, published in Life in 1945 and still protected by copyright. Johnson asserted that he was aware of this issue, and had used another photograph of the kissing couple taken by Victor Jorgensen, which is in the public domain. The attorney for the municipal government said that the attorneys for Johnson and the donor had fulfilled the requirements set by the city commission, making way for the exhibition of the statue for at least ten years.
An automobile crash occurred on April 26, 2012, during which the Sarasota copy of the statue was struck by a vehicle and was damaged. The impact knocked an approximately 3-foot-wide hole in the sailor's foot and added hairline cracks to its frame. This led to the statue being taken down by the city, which laid the statue onto its side, close to the site, while insurance companies negotiated over liability and repair issues. The minimum distance for a road hazard established by the state of Florida is fourteen feet, but the location barely met that standard because it was erected near one of the busiest and most complex intersections in the city. The statue attracted visitors who gathered around the base and often backed up to the curb to take photographs. No one was present when the automobile jumped the curb and careened into the statue.
The debate about returning the statue to that location ensued, with an editorial calling for moving the statue to a safer location, as had been advocated by critics before the statue was placed for the controversial ten-year display. The statue was re-erected near the Sarasota shoreline in December 2012.
A similar controversy was occurring in California. In March 2012, the San Diego Unified Port District voted to purchase a permanent bronze replacement for the loaner. This controversial move resulted in the resignation of three board members. Despite the controversy, construction of the new weather-resistant bronze statue proceeded, in part due to a fundraising campaign by the Midway Museum that raised US$1 million.
