The angels of heaven saw on earth, a good reason to celebrate!
Dear friends!
Textual words of Jesus:
I tell you that this way there will be more joy in heaven for a single sinner to become than for ninety-nine righteous people who do not need repentance. Lk 15.7
What is the reason to make a great party?
Sometimes something like marriage, birthday, commitment, graduation or the conquest of one's home are reasons to make a big party.
The question is: Would you throw a party for anyone?
Do you want to throw a party for a repentant thief?
Do you want to throw a party for a prostitute who came out of prostitution to serve God?
Actually, we would not spend a dime with people like that.
Thank God it does not look at what man looks at.
The great interest of God is in the lost.
The text of Matthew 9:13 is emphatic:
However, and learn what it means: I want mercy, and not sacrifice. Because I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance...
It is hard to imagine that God is willing to forgive and transform people like:
Ø Marginal
Ø Prostitutes
Ø Alcoholics
Ø etc
In general, these people, although restored, never enter our list, nor are they welcome in our social circles.
In light of the bible, we are all sinners, we forget the laws of God, at some point we violate his commandments, however small they may be.
Because anyone who keeps the whole law, but offends at one point, becomes guilty of all.
Santiago 2:10
Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you think that these Galileans, because they suffered such things, were more sinful than all the Galileans? I say: No; before if you do not repent, you will all perish equally.
Luke 13: 2-3
There is nothing more to advocate, if you are human, you are a sinner! If you repent, heaven will celebrate!
God will celebrate for You, if you only make a change of life, you will cause a heavenly toast.
Do you know how much a sinner hurts in the world?
If they repent, we have less hate, less theft, less corruption, less adultery, less terrorism, less envy, less war, less extortion, less death, and the list goes on ...
Something mentioned @sirknight about the conservative values that have migrated from Christianity.
For this reason, when a sinner repents of wrongdoing, heaven celebrates that a new model of peace and love will shine in society.
Be you, today and always, the celebration of heaven!

The more sinners repent, the less chaos and issues we have in the world. If only everyone would turn and follow Christ then we would have had a peaceful world.
God does not want anybody to perish, He didn't create you so you would perish. His heart desire is that everyone comes to be with Him in glory. And that is why the heaven is full of joy anytime one decides to follow Christ and repents.
Certainty the approach of celebration of the angels, brother @emiliocabrera: Because the love of God is so great that always gives us the opportunity to cleanse our sins, the best way to get rid of sins, is to repent of the bad, is the principle of surrender to the truth of God and the path of light. Let us celebrate for those brothers who today repent of their sins and take the opportunity that God gives us to return to the light and value spiritual strength.
In heaven there is a celebration when a sinner repents and accepts Jesus in his heart, the repentance of a sinner is the most important miracle, changing the way of weighing, to have a kingdom mentality.
Greetings, Brother Emilio, Jesus died just for people who, according to our eyes, are worthless. Jesus died for the rapist, Jesus died for the prostitute, Jesus died for the pedophiles. Jesus himself said that he came to the sick.
Salvation is something immeasurable, something precious in the eyes of God. Note that the base text says: That there is a party in heaven when someone converts, when someone repents. Heaven is mobilized for so much commemoration. Good message @emiliocabrera.
It is good to celebrate, God uses his mighty hands to deliver us from our sins and in the hands of enemies when we lost in the wilderness. This really call for great celebration without wasting much time, lets all the Earth in every corner sing, my God is King. Amen!
The greatest joy heaven has is when another name enters the book of life. We should ensure to always preach Christ to sinners. Do not discriminate them, do not close the gate of the churc against them. Allow them come to Jesus as they are!
