Because of HIs death, burial, and resurrection, those who believe on His name will have eternal life. But it takes more than just belief, you must repent of your life of sin, renounce it, and live in obedience to G🟪🟪. Just look at Romans chapter 10 verses 9-10 of the Bible: If you declare with your mouth, “J🟪🟪🟪🟪 is Lord,” and believe in your heart that G🟪🟪 raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." Good works are never enough to make it into heaven. In fact, the penalty for just a single sin is death, meaning a thousand good deeds wouldn't cancel out the one bad deed. (The wages of sin is death, but the gift of G🟪🟪 is eternal life through J🟪🟪🟪🟪 C🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪 our Lord" - Romans 6:23). It is the grace of G🟪🟪 only to those who believe...Ephesians 2 verse 8 says so: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of G🟪🟪," Believe on C🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪 today and be saved before it is eternally too late.

She didn't deserve to die. This was so sad. This movie shows the corruption of our government. She got the shaft from the very start. When people start to try and judge others for what they do no matter if it is drugs or prostitution stop and think.... They are someone's mother sister father and/or brother. It could easily be there's. Literally everyone has an addict in there family. We are all people with same God given rights as the next.

@Mary Carroll But having someone close to you murdered does not mean you can let an innocent person die if you can try to help stop it. The murdered police officer's family had to obligation to keep up with any new developments with the criminal and if the new developments means helping the criminal get a lighter sentence they deserve than that is what should happen.

Great acting by Mare Winningham and Tyra Ferrell, don’t know how they could have been more realistic. Attempting to judge the ethics of the plot, (Spoiler alert) . . . it is so sad Kit was lied to by her father, and her mother made no effort to reach out to her. She was (in the story) rehabilitated. But the killing of the cop is inexcusable. She and her husband (?) Frank were living a life of extreme risk and crime, if they weren’t luring victims into situations to be robbed at gun point this never would have happened. She needed to pay for her crimes.

Where we live, people can get out of jail by showing good behavior.

I could not be one hour in jail, I rather die. It breaks poeple, it does not make them better. Only love makes people better. Pain stops them.

[@MichelleJohnson-ew9tc]

@@rio-impetuoso4271 jail isn't designed to make people "better." Nor does it " break them."Inmates already broke themselves way before they ever went to prison. So its not the prison system that broke them. Their breakage started when they made poor choices like committing robbery, assault, murder, rape, burglary, drug usage and drug dealing. It's called punishment for a reason. People do not get sentenced to jail/prison as therapy to make them become better people. They become incarcerated due to crimes that they committed. Maybe by freak chance a few may have reflected on what got them confined to prison and upon their release they decide to change their bad ways and strive to be a beter person. But all in all..what it boils down to is it is punishment for their crime and it isnt meant to be some spa resort where they get comfort and help nor is it designed to make them better. Their first step is they have to want to become a better person. Then they have to put in the effort to be diligent about making that happen
