Hope he is one, because the promise of God is only to those who are. None are saved by works, or grace plus works as it's been taught. It's by grace alone through faith alone in the Christ of the Bible alone. Have you been born into God's family yet? If so, God never ditches His kids.
It’s so true. Any of us may wander off angry, get far away from Him, or totally leave God for other reasons, but He will never leave His children. It’s cuz He remains faithful and can’t deny Himself. He can’t go against His own perfect attributes, promises, character or divine nature.
Sadly, so many Popes don't go by the Bible or teach others to, but Listen.. God does and wants us to apply it as well. Very loyal is our Lord and His love-letter to Christians. Personally, I haven't heard much from this Latin Pope at all, but do wanna hear how God encourages His people in this regard. There are so many, but go check out at least ten nkjv verses; on this topic.. in their own context. I pray they will uplift you today.
