I am really very much zealous to join this challenge and my big THANKS to my good friend @bloghound for nominating me.

I read the Bible

I had been a BIBLE reader when I was small until I reach college since I was enrolled in a Catholic school where we had Religious Studies subjects from first year to third year, sometimes even in your final year prior to graduation.

Aside from that I rarely skip Sunday mass when I was still in the Philippines so I always had the chance to hear the words of God.

Grateful

Sad to note that I rarely do it this time, and for a longer time already. That is why I am happy to read verses posted by steemians as their favorites, at least I get the chance to have a peep on what has been written in the Bible, thus renewing my faith and guiding me.

Bringing a Bible in Saudi Arabia is prohibited so we are not allowed to read, but does that stop me from reading? No of course. Because we are already advance in technology, we can even download the whole Bible in our mobile phone and read it anytime we want.

If there's a will there's a way

So what I am trying to say here is that there’s always a way if we just want to that is why I considered myself guilty of that sin of omission.

My favorite verse

Anyhow, my favorite verse is John 3:16. And this is the only verse of the Bible that I really memorize.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

This verse has been called “Gospel in a nutshell”, the famous Bible verse, and the most widely quoted verse, etc. And I agree to that. This somehow summarized the true essence of being a Christian.

By reading this verse, it reminds me of God’s unconditional love to mankind. God loves everyone even the sinners, and yes God loves me.

I am so #grateful having that in mind.

God send His son not to condemn the world but in order to save the world. Here we are given the chance to repent and change ourselves for the better. If we believe in God and willing to confess our sins and change, then we can be sure of what he promised.

Now I nominate @lebron2016, @junebride, @jie28 to do the challenge and share your thoughts.
