"Only Life Changes"

God’s Grace, forgiveness, and ears listen closely to His children who obey in faith. John had confidence in God, including a confidence that whatever he prayed for in God’s name was a prayer that God would hear. The man that had no help to get in the pool. After healing the man, Jesus found him in the temple. Jesus told him pick up your mat and walk. The man did. He was cured. There is no specific time marker, but it likely happened on the same day. Jesus told him, “Sin no more,” connecting his past sufferings with individual sin. Sin is a hard boss to work for. Long hours, broken hearts, worried minds, and a multitude of bitter memories are the effects of Satan. “The wages of sin is death.” Be no longer the servant of sin when there is complete faith in Jesus. Release yourself from the jail you made for yourself in bondage.
{Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”
John 5:14 Easy English Bible}

The Lord sees what happens everywhere. He is watching what evil people do, and good people too.
Proverbs 15:3 Easy English Bible

“You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”
Genesis 16:13 NIV

I will always trust the Lord to be with me. He is very near to me, so I will not be upset.
Psalm 16:8 Easy English Bible

Teach them to obey everything that I have taught you. You can be sure that I will be with you always. I will be with you until the end of time.’
Matthew 28:20 Easy English Bible

So you should tell each other about any wrong things that you have done. Then you will be able to pray for each other so that God makes you well again. When a good person prays to God, God does powerful things. For example, God’s prophet Elijah was an ordinary person, as we are. He prayed to God that it would not rain. He continued to pray and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. After that time, he prayed to God to send rain again. After that, rain came down from the sky. The seeds that were in the ground began to grow and give food for people to eat. My Christian friends, if anyone among you turns away from God’s true message, you should help him. Try to bring him back to God. Understand this: if you turn a person back from their bad ways, you will save them from death. And God will forgive that person for his many sins.
James 5:16-20 Easy English Bible

Peter said to them, ‘Each of you must stop doing wrong things. You must change how you live. If you believe in Jesus Christ, then we will baptize you. God will forgive you for the wrong things that you have done. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit, who is God’s gift to you. God has promised to do all this for you and your children. He has also promised this to people who live far away in other places. The Lord our God will do it for all the people that he has called to come to him.’
Acts 2:38-39 Easy English Bible

If we say that we never do any wrong thing, we are deceiving ourselves. Even though we may think it is true, it is a lie. Instead, we should agree that we have done wrong things and tell that to God. Then God will forgive us for our sins. He always does what he has promised to do. He always does what is right. He will forgive us and he will make us clean again, whatever bad things we may have done. God says that all people have done wrong things. So, if we say that we have not done any wrong thing, we are saying that God tells lies. It shows that we have not accepted his message at all.

1 John 1:8-10 Easy English Bible

Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Some bad things in this world will make other people do wrong things. You can be sure about that. But God will punish anyone who makes these bad things happen. These other people may not seem to be important. But you must not make them do wrong things. Do not do that! It would be better if someone tied a big stone around your neck, and then threw you into the sea. Be careful how you live. If your Christian brother does something wrong, speak to him. Tell him that he has done a bad thing. He may say, “I am sorry for what I did. I will not do it again.” If he says that, you must forgive him. Your brother may do a bad thing to you seven times in one day. He may turn to you each time and say, “I am sorry for what I did. I will not do it again.” If he does that, you must forgive him every time.’
Luke 17:1-4 Easy English Bible

There is only one God. There is also only one person who brings God and people together. That person is Christ Jesus, who became a man himself. He died as a sacrifice on behalf of all people, to pay the debt of their sins. He died at the proper time for God to show his purpose clearly.
