Matthew 18:10-14 (The parable❤ of the lost sheep❤) " 10 "See that you do not despise one of theses little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my father who is in heaven. 12 What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine(99) on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? 13 And if he find it( the sheep, God and Jesus are both looking for that lost sheep and "if he( the shepherd) find it...") truly I say to you, he😊❤ rejoices😊❤ over it😊❤ more than😊❤ over the ninety- nine(99 ) that never went astray."( ESV Study Bible) ( usually we understand 99 > was greater than one or 99> 1 but now in above Scripture said 1 lost sheep find it he rejoice over it than than the ninety- nine that never went astray from that man's perspective with 100 sheep in Matthew 18:12 or 12a. So 1> 99 in Matthew 18;13( a) "And if he( "...the man who has one hundred sheep, and one of them gone astray,does he not leave the ninty- nine on the mountain and go in search of the one that went astray? "( Matthew 18:12b ESV Study Bible) Again back to Matthew 18:13-14 "13 ( a)And if he ( the man with 100 sheep or from a sherpherd's perspective)find it( the lost sheep, God and Jesus are both looking for that lost sheep back to the shepherd ( Do you also remember Psalm 23:1 😊❤ ? Psalms 23:1-6😊❤ too in Christ. Who😊1st❤ is our sherphed( Jesus 😊1st❤) in Christ? The Lord or Jesus( 😊1st ❤) is my shepherd in Christ😊❤. The One who laid down his life on the cross for his sheep(s)(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) or us (😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) today too is our sherpherd( Jesus😊1st❤, our savior in Christ). is my sherpherd too. .... again back to Scriptures in Christ. Again back to Matthew 18:13-14 "13 And if he ( the man with 100 sheep or from a sherpherd's perspective)find it😊❤, truly😊❤, I say to you, he( The shepher😊❤) rejoices😊❤ over it😊❤ more than😊❤ over the ninety- nine(99 ) that never went astray. 14 So it is not the will of my Father( God 😊100%❤,our Father who create heavens and earth(Genesis 1:1 😊❤ and our Father in heaven😊❤) who is in heaven that one of these little ones(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) should perish."( ESV Study Bible) Do you also remember God loves you( John 3:16😊❤) and trust in Jesus😊1st❤ our savior for eternal life( John 3:16😊❤) to God our Father in heaven. Jesus 😊1st❤ is the way 😊1st❤ , the truth😊1st❤, and the life 😊1st❤ to God our Father in heaven 😊❤( John 14:6😊❤) in Christ. So have also trust in Jesus😊1st❤ our savior(Jesus😊1st❤) today too in Christ? John 14:6😊❤

Genesis 31:33-35 "33So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent and into the tent of two female servants, but he did not find them. And he went out to Leah's tent and entered Rachel's. 34 Now Rachel had taken the household gods and put them in the camel's saddle and sat on them. Laban felt all about the tent, but did not find them. 35 And she said to her father, " Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me." So he searched but did not find the household gods."( Genesis 31:33-35, speaking of "gods"( Genesis 31:35b ESV Study Bible.

[@sk8erwitskil1]

@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 the only requirement to be saved is to believe that Jesus is the son of God and that he died for your sins. God doesnt require any bodily acts to be saved. Salvation is a matter of the heart. Of course, our bodily acts will change once we are saved, so we cannot continue living in sin.

[@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000]

@@sk8erwitskil1 i believe that acts 2:38 proves that the bible teaches that we have to be water baptized to be saved.
