Can you give me some more background on this subject?
If you have any further questions you may write me an email. I will do my best to assist you in your journey to knowing our God who the Bible says this:
# Romans 8:39
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
# 1 Corinthians 2:9
9 However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
1 John 4:10
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
# 1 John 4:12
No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.
# 1 John 4:16
We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
and most read right over this one or explain it away:
# 1 John 2:2
and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
For you see Jesus said this as well:
# John 12:47
"If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
# 1 Corinthians 1:21
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
# 1 Timothy 1:15
It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.
How could Christ save ALL?
2 Corinthians 5:19
namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
I pray this:
Ephesians 1:18
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
and NOT THIS:
Matthew 13:15
FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL,WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR,AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES,OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES,HEAR WITH THEIR EARS,AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN,AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.'
I am sure you yet have questions as many. Pray, seek God and He will provide the answers! The holy Spirit is your teacher, not men! Ask yourself how much of what you believe right now is because you were taught you must believe to be saved? How much of what you believe right now, came from your own intense study of Scripture, the Greek, the Hebrew, Church History and just down and out, sincere study to ask God questions and seek Him for the answers?
Don't you think it is about time that YOU DO! that you wipe the brain programming out of the flesh and what you have been told to believe and seek God with ALL YOUR HEART, MIND, SOUL and STRENGTH.
Will you be a Thessalonian or a Berean?
The time is now! Not later, none of us are guaranteed how long our life is, but wouldn't you rather enjoy the mercies of God and His life within you for now as well in this life, and truly know overcoming power, love, and courage to stand for JESUS CHRIST not in just what you say, but in what you do?
Then I challenge you to seek out the one who said, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE!
and also said, YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!
