THE LOVE OF GOD
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God, did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. {John 3:16-17 } The love of God is not the way you and me love. His love is far beyond our realm, we just cannot grasp all of it, but only what he gave us in His Word. Yahweh stepped down from heaven, not only to die for us; but also, so that we cannot say to him! God is up there, and we are down here, so how would He know how we human beings feel. We suffer sickness, disappointments, we go hungry, thirsty, our love ones die, and we suffer the loss. We feel deeply lonely, at one time or the other. We hurt when someone we love betrays us. We suffer shame at times. We also get tire, worry and cry. Well guess what! (Jesus Yeshua) has gone through all this and more. This is what the Bible has to say about Him. Isaiah 3:3-5 We have despised him and rejected him--a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by, we didn't care. Yet it was our grief he bore, our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, for his own sins! But he was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace; he was bruised —and by His lashes we were healed Romans 8:35-39 { Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.'' Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.} Yes God loves the homosexual the prostitute the thief the adulterer and the sinner, but If! they do not repent of their sins God will love them all the way to hell. Lets put it in modern terms, God cannot lie, so He loves you, he created you for his pleasure but you don’t want Him to rule over you,-- you want to be your own boss. So He is patient with you but! God’s patients could run out like He did with the Israelites psalms 2:11-12 {Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.}again Psalms 7:11-16 { God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day. If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready. He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts. Behold, the wicked travails with iniquity, Conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood. He made a pit and dug it out, and has fallen into the ditch which he made. His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.} John 15:9 { "As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.} Aservant of the lord Anastasia
