"Is a common idiom used to politely ask what someone is thinking about...a gentle, conversational invitation to share their feelings or ideas...
Offering a "penny" was originally a genuine gesture of willingness to pay for the other person's valuable insights or conversation."
Isaiah 55 BSB
8“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways My ways,”
declares the LORD.
9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so My ways are higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Psalm 111:10 Berean Standard Bible
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding. His praise endures forever!"
All of us are born into sin: "For I was born a sinner— yes, from the moment my mother conceived me." (Psalm 51:5 NLT)
Because of this spiritual and physical death (see Genesis 3) we need to be born again (see John 3).
Does the spiritual rebirth mean we are perfect? No! (see Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:12; 1 John 1:8).
When will the perfection come? When we experience the physical rebirth (see Luke 24:39 and Philippians 3:21).
Although someone is born again, the physical body and human nature remain subject to frailty, illness, and the ongoing struggle with sin in this lifetime (see Romans 7:13-25).
