I agree. And I did pray for his salvation. And you are right, HERn, my post was not so much about Chris Watts but the condition I see in myself reflecting on praying for this person. I have been asking God consistently for more love and an enlarged heart. I trust His will for us, that we would love one another, as He displayed by laying down His life for us. He said we should lay down our life for our brethren. And regarding others, that we love our neighbor. I believe the Lord will answer my prayer because it lines up with His will.
And Nell, I see the wickedness and unrighteousness in Watts' person, and crime.....the wickedness of the whole world is on display for all to see in this age. I believe even a Chris Watts can be touched by Jesus and truly repent, and be saved. He is the sickest of the sick, when it comes to sin. But Gods word says if we hate a brother in our heart, we are as murderers. My heart is as wicked as the rest! Where would I be without the mercy of Christ Jesus and the word of God. I would be going straight to hell, as many others.
