Luke12:6 "Aren't five sparrows sold for two assaria coins{An assarion was a small copper coin worth about an hour's wages for an agricultural laborer.}? Not one of them is forgotten by God.

What can we say, is God this concern with us, or is He not? According to law Christian's, not! They just can't imagine in evil pointed up by God's righteous laws that God could have anything worth seeing in mankind but judgment. Thus, they must earn by proof of good works a place in God's love. It is impossible to believe God gives His love freely, and is concerned for the good, but also the wicked. That He is the word hope, and proved it in sending His Own beloved Son into the world to pay the price for our sins.

Law Christian's would have us believe God is only concern with them, those that perform works of preaching and acting like Christian's God is concern with, but no! Not even a small common bird can fall to the ground in death that the God of love does not know and take notice of, how much more the precious life of a human rather good or evil, how could a God, a Father of the human race not know His creation? In a world full of religious hate, how unlike Christ Jesus God's Son who gave his own life to save us, and His righteous Father that loved even His enemies, one must wonder how religion has came up with so much judgment?

Matt.5:42 Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you. 5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor,{Leviticus 19:18} and hate your enemy.{not in the Bible, but see Qumran Manual of Discipline Ix, 21-26}' 5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, 5:45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. 5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? 5:47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

How they have blasphemed the Good name of God among the nations of our earth? Is there anything more touching and kind in love than a God who take note of a sparrow. How can we walk in trust when every law of God's words judges us as sinner deserving of nothing but death, how? Certainly not by our love, but God's love, that is the only way, requiring great faith despite our own fallen condition. Yes, no matter how good we think we are in good works of following some religious rules, it is not enough, it falls far short of God's glory, it is only that God is love, let us give Him glory for His unfailing love in our corruption of sin.
