@Marvelloustime This is also the historic motto of Oxford University... :)

@Michiah-Imla FYI, I also talked to a young man with the same Bible verse - John 3.16 - tattooed in full on his arm as the young lady that my wife and I talked to, who had it inked in full on her wrist area. So do you think it shows commendable confidence for Christian young people to have it done?

@Michiah-Imla Good verses there. Also, Romans 14 is clear about Christian liberty.

@Michiah-Imla Ephesians 2.9 is very clear about faith being the basis. (Hebrews 11 also...)

@Ziggy Good thoughts there... :) I actually wasn't referring to you having it done again. What I actually meant was, whereas it was an older man who did yours, the fact is that in recent years the profession has opened up a lot to women also. And so, re. the fact that the tattoo artist...

@Ziggy Glad you like the hymn verse! The writer had probably been reading Ephesians 1 and other similar passages about election and considering the unworthiness of his own heart, also...

@Ziggy Thanks... It was often men then, that worked as tattoo artists. Although in recent years the profession has opened up a lot to women. (Which maybe you would welcome, to some extent...?) :)

@Ziggy "Chosen not for good in me, Waked from coming wrath to flee, Hidden in the Savior’s side, By the Spirit sanctified— Teach me, Lord, on earth to show By my love, how much I owe." Words by Robert Murray M'Cheyne.

@April_Rose So, this thread is quite interesting, then...

@April_Rose Like you say, it's so important to read the Bible; maybe Bible themed video games have been invented, I don't know...

@Ziggy Do you happen to know if the tattoo artist who did it for you is still working as an artist?

@Ziggy PS: I also like the following lines: "Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art I'll praise Thee as I ought." From: 'How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds', by John Newton (1725-1807).

@Ziggy Reading Isaiah 53 is a good antidote to hard-heartedness...

@Michiah-Imla Do you happen to remember whether it was a Bible verse? Sometimes ppl tattoo just the reference, or even a symbol such as the Christian fish sign <><, etc. A wrist is often a popular placement for this, or even a finger. tattooshunt dot com

( @Michiah-Imla Sorry; I realized you already referred to these verses, without quoting them in full.)

@Michiah-Imla Even Paul had his 'thorn in the flesh': "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8 For this thing I besought the...

@Michiah-Imla Relevant verse there! :)
