Welcome Jones. You may have faith. How do you know?
Hebrews 11:1-3 ESV Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
Do you see that a tree was not created by itself just as all of creation was not made by its own? These are all God's! Even in the womb he knitted us together!
Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
I'm unsure what you mean by "get some work". This is what I understand from scripture. God will work in you for His good pleasure.
Philippians 2:13 for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.
When one genuinely repents from sin towards God and puts their faith in Jesus Christ that person will be a new creature with new desires...to serve righteousness and not sin. God will put you to work.
2 Tim 2:19 Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The LORD knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the LORD must turn away from wickedness.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Hi , happy to help. Been a born-again believer and disciple for some time now. What I have learned I am happy to share. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God . If you are seeking faith, keep your soul close to the Word of God. It will do its work. Take care.

Jesus is the cure---we all have the need for this connection, Jesus is the one cure that works! Pray up the desire to understand the Bible and let God give you the answers you seek. The trick is to let Him lead the way....so pray, simple, "Lord, I just need you to help me understand " and with sincerity He answers! Be blessed!

Well Jones hasn't been seen since Oct. 25th, but welcome to you.
Indeed there are.
Unless one's father is the devil.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
(John 8:44 KJV)
Wait. you're not saying the devil is God, right?

Context... he hadn't defined "we" - the those whom he said are all God's children. So then, who are they? The "all" ? All are God's children?
Typically, in sparse posts like that, it's quite acceptable to understand that this "we" would mean all mankind.

But yes, it was a bit of a joke-poke.
