In other words, are you a person who wants to be a Christian, perhaps attends church meetings, but does not have any "oil in his lamp", in other words, no spiritual life in your heart? Are you, in other words, only a nominal Christian, do you have external Christian habits in your life, but have really not been born again and experienced a living faith?<br /> It really is possible that if God has not had the chance to awaken us, we are just these kinds of people. We can have all the external signs of Christianity, we may have turned away from certain sins, and we might think that we are on our way to Heaven, even though we are in fact going just the opposite direction. This is possible if we have not yet seen our true condition and the need for salvation in the light of God.<br /><br />http://www.jariiivanainen.net/foolish_virgin.htmlman with desirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881690798999758579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258043335360337768.post-5989349451726225832011-03-05T06:50:58.401-06:002011-03-05T06:50:58.401-06:00Well, I finally finished it.
