And...?

You could try a Bible search for the topic "encouragement" or "hope" use the Topic Guide and add verses to a Passage List to share. If it's helpful, here's a Passage List for comfort and encouragement I keep handy, not necessarily in a specific order: Psalm 34:18 Psalm 46:1 Isaiah 41:10 Psalm 147:3 Psalm 40:1–3 Matthew 11:28–30 Romans 15:13 Psalm 30:5 Jeremiah 29:11 Lamentations 3:22–23 Nehemiah 8:10 Deuteronomy 31:8 Joshua 1:9 Psalm 23:4 Psalm 31:24 Psalm 32:8 Psalm 121:1–2 Isaiah 40:31 Isaiah 43:2 Isaiah 51:12 Luke 12:6–7 John 14:27 John 16:33 Romans 8:31 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 2 Corinthians 1:5 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 Revelation 7:16–17

wow that is good .

I am new to this! WOW, the LAW of LIBERTY. Knowing this can set many believers free!

Without doing deep dive, but just thinking logically, if the "law of Moses" was works and it was a bumper to keep Jews in line... "law" of liberty, seems like just that... we have freedom, to not indulge and or put ourselves back into bondage, but in moderation enjoy it... "everything in moderation"...

So click Search in the left frame menu, then click Smart in the subsequent Window and select Precise. You're back where you want to be. However, I also didn't want Smart search but I have found it has it's place.

Thanks

That's not really a biblical word, so Logos probably isn't the best resource. However, using the search tool, you should find it in a standard dictionary (e.g., Collins, Webster's, etc.). A Smart search provided me with the following synopsis: Preschool refers to the period before children reach compulsory school age[1][2], typically spanning ages 3–5[3]. In North American contexts, the term also describes a nursery school setting[2]. During these years, children experience significant developmental changes across multiple domains. Physical development accelerates as preschoolers gain confidence in movement—walking, climbing, jumping, running, and skipping—while their large motor skills continue maturing, making large toys and building blocks particularly valuable[3]. Hand-based activities strengthen fine motor development, eventually enabling children to work puzzles, cut with precision, and transition from jumbo crayons to standard writing implements[3]. Beyond physical growth, preschool provides foundational academic learning alongside critical social development—teaching children to interact with peers and teachers, manage turn-taking, and follow instructions[4]. Effective preschool programs combine understanding of young children with compassion, incorporating substantial physical movement, age-appropriate learning balanced with loving discipline, and making fun central to the curriculum[5]. While children follow general developmental patterns, each progresses at their own pace, making encouragement more valuable than pressure[3]. Learning thrives in non-pressured environments where educators leverage children’s natural curiosity[5]. Ideal preschool attendance involves two to three sessions weekly for two to three hours daily[5], positioning these early years as formative without overwhelming young learners.

Soul that sins > the soul that sins will die This principle—that individuals bear responsibility for their own moral choices—stands as a cornerstone of Ezekiel’s argument about divine justice. The one who sins faces death, while children don’t inherit parental guilt nor parents their children’s guilt; each person’s righteousness or wickedness determines their own outcome. (Ezek 18:20) This breaks sharply with assumptions about collective punishment that may have circulated during Israel’s exile. Understanding what “death” means here requires care. In Ezekiel 18, the warning that “the soul who sins is the one who will die” refers in context to the individual who sins suffering physical death in the approaching judgment.[1] This isn’t primarily about metaphysical consequences or an immaterial soul’s fate—it’s about concrete, temporal judgment. In the Old Testament, “soul” doesn’t indicate an immaterial part continuing after death; rather, it essentially means life as uniquely experienced by personal beings.[1] The broader biblical framework reinforces this connection between sin and death. Sin’s wages are death, though God offers eternal life through Christ Jesus. (Rom 6:23) Death entered the world through one person’s sin, and subsequently all people experience death because all have sinned. (Rom 5:12) Desire, when it conceives, gives birth to sin; and when sin fully develops, it produces death. (James 1:15) The progression is relentless: sin generates its own destructive outcome. Early Christian interpreters recognized layers within this principle. Ambrose identified three kinds of death: death resulting from sin, the mystical death where one dies to sin and lives for God, and physical death—the separation of soul and body.[2] This theological complexity acknowledges that “death” operates on multiple registers, though Ezekiel’s immediate concern is establishing individual accountability before God.
