A failure reaches this status when one does not attain success, failing to meet their goal or objective. Once expectations go unfilled, disappointment consumes individuals, often leaving souls in a state of depression. Effort is good, but sooner or later a team has to win, proving they have what it takes. If not achieved, coaches and individuals will begin to doubt their God given abilities. Like a lowly carp, bottom dwellers are left to feed on the scraps, the leftovers other fish don’t find appealing.
The words of Luke 23:43 should give hope to any failure who still has time on their side. “Today you will be with me in paradise” is proof that someone about to die can receive Jesus into their heart, obtaining eternal life despite living a life full of sin. Hebrews 10:26-27 indirectly suggests someone who fears the judgment of God can be swayed from hell to heaven like the criminal mentioned in Luke. Therefore, if you’ve been deceived by the devil to believe that you’re damned, remember the promise of Luke 23:40-43. In Jesus’ eyes, it’s never too late for a failure to receive eternal life, John 3:16-17.
