    If we being not so good are able to hate evil; imagine how God (who is Holy/Good/Righteous to a point beyond our ability to measure) must hate evil. The Good News is that if we are able to love imagine how much more God is able to love. The wages of sin are death. God made us the best deal ever in sending Jesus and his new covenant. I grasped that deal with both hands and will cling to it as strongly as I am able. Here is more good news; if you are truly in Christ you are never alone and even if your strength fails, God's strength never does :)

    It's God's kindness that leads people to repentence, not the realization they're headed for eternal torment. Most believers don't even realize the depth of consequences for sin until years into their walk. The only thing shielding us from God's wrath is Christ and His righteousness attributed to us. For freedom we've been set free and have become slaves to righteousness, no longer sin. Paul even had to defend that point because technically they can, but it only grieves the Spirit and hinders your walk. Freedom is freedom. If you're in prison and chains come off, you're free to go, or stay, but you're free regardless. This message is dangerous, and not because I believe a happy go lucky biblical interpretation. This teaching inclines believers to works based living, puts a burden on their back, especially for addicts or others who struggle daily, and it leads straight into self righteousness. We are riding the wave of God's grace, plain and simple. He calls us, and we respond. Some get life in order while others stay a mess, but if we are truly His nothing can separate, no height nor depth. Sorry but this message condradicts what Christ did to set us free, and yes He did it unconditionally. I didn't give a thought to Him until He inclined me to understand who He is, but His sacrifice to be set free from sin was always there. Don't take my word for it, He will straighten it out for you either here or in eternity, but don't fall for this nonsense. Find joy by living in His grace, not relying on fear of His wrath as a catalyst to get your life together. If your His you are His.

    Here is your mistake. God does not love everyone unconditionally. But God loves without condition. If you live a life separated from God, how can you possibly experience his love? If you live a life understanding, his love is an unconditional gift that must be accepted, then you have chosen to accept his love and that love is given without condition. He will not love you less, because you send. If people could only stop looking at God as a lawmaker and look at him as a parent. As a parent, I love my children unconditionally. I've raised them on rules and guidelines and advice. I haven't given them rules that say if you break them, I won't love you. I've given them these guidelines so that they will be able to get the best from life if they follow these guidelines. I give them my wisdom to protect them because I love them. I don't use that wisdom as a weapon, God is the same way he had to give us his expectations, but he never said that if we are unable to meet every expectation that he would choose not to love us that's just not the case. He hates because his children lost to him through sin, since separates us from him. When our children grow up if they haven't understood that our love is unconditional then not being able to love up to our expectations will leave them feeling judged and full of shame and inevitably separate us from our children they will choose not to be in our lives because they feel as if they can never live up to these rules that we have set for them. My children understand that I don't want them to make the mistakes that I've made in my life and so I've told them please never do this. Please never do that because it will only hurt you. But they also know that I expect that they will make mistakes and I still want them to come to me because nothing that they could ever do could possibly change how I feel about them, I'm sure God desperately wants us to understand the same thing

    The Gospel of God's love is unconditional is just excitable and sweet testing to the men who don't want to repent & turn away from their ways completely; it's just a cosy bed for the impenitent! It's preached by the seeker sensitive preachers b'se it's convenient to the hard hearted lovers of sin

    "unconditional" is not found in the Bible. It's used to make people feel better about themselves and to minimise the consequences of sin. It's about time we start studying the scriptures like the Bereans and know the truth.

  • @Rita82021
    @Rita82021 3 місяці тому

    God's love is unconditional, but his promises are conditional. God loves every one of us and he proved his love for us when Jesus died for sinners like you and me. He loves us because He is love. But have in mind that his promises are conditional. IF we confess that Jesus is Lord... we will be saved. IF we confess our sins... we will be forgiven. His conditions come with a 'IF'. We have to obey and walk by faith in order to receive the gift of salvation and to please God, but none of it can affect his unconditional love for us. Another thing, it is not God's wrath that brings us to repentance, but his kindness (Romans 2:4). The law itself cannot save us, but the grace of God through Jesus Christ. His kindness leads us to repentance, where he will dwell in us through his Holy Spirit and sanctify us to do good works for his glory.

    I don't know what Bible these two men read, but I know for a fact from the Christian Bible that God's love is unconditional. That isn't to say that Jesus Christ didn't have to shed his blood and die on the cross for remission from sin, but that was done for everyone because God unconditionally loves everyone. Jesus came not to purchase love or to make love from God possible the sinners. Jesus is not God protecting us from God, which is a major heresy. First John says, among every other passage on the subject, that the father sent Jesus because he loved every sinner, even his worst enemies.

    The subject of God's love is simple, yet eternally profound! God's love IS unconditional. The acceptance and full benefits of that love is conditional. Lots of Bible texts and stories to back that up! For one, Jesus' story of the prodigal son. Did the father love the son 24/7/365? Yes! When could the son reap the benefits of that incredible (unconditional) love? When he lived with and in harmony with dad. Note also that the father ran to the son once he saw him (violating Jewish familial protocol) AND embraced him and restored his family position while the son wore rags (and probably smelled of Old Pig Spice)! Finally, when John declared that "God is love," he, under the Holy Spirit's inspiration, chose the word "agape" for love, not any of the other Greek language choices. Agape is unconditional, unchanging and unending love. That is God... that is God's love... It is the reception and rewards of that love that are conditional. Like any other gift, we can accept or reject.

    *Others May, You Cannot* If God has called you to be really like Jesus, He will draw you into a life of crucifixion and humility, and put upon you such demands of obedience, that you will not be able to follow other people, or measure yourself by other Christians, and in many ways He will seem to let other good people do things which He will not let you do. Other Christians and ministers who seem very religious and useful, may push themselves, pull wires, and work schemes to carry out their plans, but you cannot do it; and if you attempt it, you will meet with such failure and rebuke from the Lord as to make you sorely penitent. Others may boast of themselves, of their work, of their success, of their writings, but the Holy Spirit will not allow you to do any such thing, and if you begin it, He will lead you into some deep mortification that will make you despise yourself and all your good works. Others may be allowed to succeed in making money, or may have a legacy left to them, but it is likely God will keep you poor, because He wants you to have something far better than gold, namely, a helpless dependence on Him, that He may have the privilege of supplying your needs day by day out of an unseen treasury. The Lord may let others be honored and put forward, and keep you hidden in obscurity, because He wants you to produce some choice, fragrant fruit for His coming glory, which can only be produced in the shade. He may let others be great, but keep you small. He may let others do a work for Him and get the credit for it, but He will make you work and toil on without knowing how much you are doing; and then to make your work still more precious, He may let others get the credit for the work which you have done, and thus make your reward ten times greater then Jesus comes. The Holy Spirit will put a strict watch over you, with a jealous love, and will rebuke you for little words and feelings, or for wasting your time, which other Christians never seem distressed over. So make up your mind that God is an infinite Sovereign, and has a right to do as He pleases with His own. He may not explain to you a thousand things which puzzle your reason in His dealings with you, but if you absolutely sell yourself to be His love slave, He will wrap you up in a jealous love, and bestow upon you many blessings which come only to those who are in the inner circle. Settle it forever, then, that you are to deal directly with the Holy Spirit, and that He is to have the privilege of tying your tongue, or chaining your hand, or closing your eyes, in ways that He does not seem to use with others. Now when you are so possessed with the loving God that you are, in your secret heart, pleased and delighted over this peculiar, personal, private, jealous guardianship and management of the Holy Spirit over your life, you will have found the vestibule of Heaven. G. D. Watson, in Living Words

    2023 - This is still my favorite Nativity movie. I watch it throughout the year, not just at Christmastime. The birth of my Savior is to be celebrated all of the time…. The Passion of the Christ is another movie, which I still have not been able to watch every single scene because of the pain in my heart. The pain of my sins that my Holy Savior, my Redeemer carried to cross in my place. Yet, HE defeated death, the death caused by my sins, and HE rose on the third day. He was the “propitiation” (the sacrifice that satisfied God) for my sins, my horrible sins, of which there was no redemption until my Savior sacrificed Himself for me….for you…for all of those who choose to believe. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son; that WHOSOEVER believeth on Him should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE!! “ AMEN!! Please listen to His Holy Spirit, speaking to your heart….follow me- Repent, and follow me. You will become a new creature in Christ. God loves you!!!! May God bless you all!! 🙏🏼❤️❤️

Joseph was amongst his family in Bethlehem and they would have had room. There is no mention of stable in scriptures either. This was the Son of God coming to his ancestral home, King David was born here and the women of Bethlehem would have showered this young woman Mary with incredible hospitality which in Israel was a natural occurance. It is Truly wonderful that he came and lived and died and lives but please get the real facts of his birth correct.

    I don't disagree on what they are saying. It's true that there are many passages in the Bible that tell about God's wrath and hate for the sinner. But yet I heard so many christians testomonies in which they said that when they realised that God loved them, they received Him. They were sinners, but yet they felt the love of God for them, AND THEN they received Him as Lord and Saviour. So I don't understand anything anymore about God and His love. Does God hate the sinners, but only those who will never come to Him ? And those who are not yet saved but will be, God doesn't hate them, is not mad at them, but love them already ?

      God abhors the wicked but extends His love toward them to the extent that He sent Christ to die for their sins if they would repent and turn from their wicked ways by turning to Him, with a consequent resolve to live according to His ways rather than their own. However, such love is conditional in that anyone who would reject such love by refusing His offer of reconciliation will be rejected by Him. The point of the video is that His love will not suffer those who choose to continue in the seditiousness of sin, including those who profess to be Christians.

    • @simonvallee718
      @simonvallee718 8 місяців тому

      Yes but read what I wrote again. If God abhors the wicked, why did I hear so many testimonies of christians saying that BEFORE THEY WERE SAVED, they felt deeply loved by God, AND THEN they repented and received Jesus as theur Lord and Saviour. How do you explain that ? After all, those christians that I heard were sinners before repenting and receiving Jesus, right ? That is to say that they were haters of God, they were rebel against Him, enemy of Him, spiritually dead by their sins, which is supposed to be the condition of every single human being before they receive Christ right ? And the Bible say, like what is being said in this video, that God abhors them, He is disgusted by them, right ? So my question is how do you explain the fact that some came to Christ AFTER He reveal His deep love for them, while they were so calling sinners, enemy of God, etc ?

      @@simonvallee718 Coming to the realization that God would make such a sacrifice of Himself for even those He abhors, those who have lived in rebellion to Him, who are deserving only of death, does indeed reveal such an inexplicable love that it should cause any sinner to feel the deep love of God, causing them to cry out for mercy that they might have a relationship with Him. However, God’s love for the sinner is not to be confused with an affectionate love, which is reserved for those who love and abide in His Son, but rather a deeply caring love that is willing to adopt them into His family irrespective of their past iniquities. They will then experience His affectionate love as that of a Father and child who He then raises as His own. The fact that His love is that deep and profound does not mean it is unconditional or that it extends to those who die in their sins.

      @@Truthaccordingtoscripture You say that God's love for sinners is not to be confused with affectionnate love which is reserved to His child. Again, what I'm saying is that I heard a lot of testimonies of christians, saying that BEFORE they truly , God revealed His deep love for them, and they felt their whole body fulled of the love of God... It sounds like an affectionnate love, doesn't it ? And more surprinsingly, there are even some of those christians that hadn't even converted to Jesus immediately after receving their personal revelation. They just continued in their same sinful lifestyles and truly came to saving faith only months, or even years after their revelation. I just don't understand how can God hate, abhour every sinners, but at the same time revealing His deep love for some sinners before they repent. And the way that some talks about the love that they receive, it sounds much more like and affectionnate love, because they didn't even have to realise how sinful they were. They didn't even have to realise that they were on their way to hell and to be terrified about it. God simply called them, he simply told them they he loved them, and then they turn to Him and got saved... and it some cases, they didn't even respond immediately, but years after, after they felt that they were completly hopeless without God and therefore they finally surrendered their lives to Him. But again, they didn't have to realise how sinful they were, they just realised that God loved them and they needed Him and that's it. So it seems that in their cases, God loved them as they were, even though they were still sinners. On the flip side, there are other christians that came to Christ just because they had the revelation that they were going to hell. They just got that knowledge that they were going to hell, therefore they asked God to save them, He did, and they became genuinely born again. Do you understand why I'm so confused ? Why does some come to Christ because they are afraid of hell, while some come to Him because they felt love by Him ? And again, in the latter case, how is it that they already felt that God loved them affectionnately while they were still sinners, if God hates the sinner and His wrath is upon them ? And one thing that I find the most distrurbing is that there are some who hear the Gospel, hear either that Jesus died for them and/or that they are sinners on their way to hell, want to be saved, but God doesn't seem to save them because they don't become different. They come to Jesus, but nothing happens. They don't feel that God love them, and themselves, they don't feel that they love God, even if they want. I am so confused, so if you can explain me all this, I will be very grateful, but I don't think there's anything to understand. I read a lot about Calvinism, and according to my own experience with God, and according to all those different testimonies that I heard, either from christians that got saved after they came to Him for varied motives, or from people who asked God to save them but didn't get saved, I genuinely believe that God has His favorites. There are some who were predestined to be loved by Him, and others were predestined to be hated by Him and to be destroyed. I believe that God hate the sinners, but only those that he predetermined that He is not going to save them. As far as his children are concerned, He simply loves them, even when they were still sinners.

      @@simonvallee718 One of the causes of confusion I think comes from mixing the idea of emotional “feelings” with the gospel message. We have no examples in Scripture of anyone coming to Christ because they “felt their whole body filled of the love of God.” Emotional feelings can be a product of many differing factors like music, etc. but has nothing to do with “how” or “if” one is saved. It is the reception of the Gospel message with a genuine faith in Christ that saves irrespective of the myriad of emotional feelings one might have or not have. Some may hear and be saved with little emotional feeling; others may hear and be very emotional but not actually be saved. Again, those who would say they “don't feel that God loves them” make the mistake of basing their understanding of God’s love on “feelings” when, in truth, we believe God loves us, not because we necessarily “feel it” but rather because He demonstrated it on the cross and therefore believe it. God reveals Himself in different ways, under differing circumstances, to different people but it is the same message that saves. “I just don't understand how can God hate, abhor every sinner, but at the same time revealing His deep love for some sinners before they repent.” He abhors sinners because they stand in opposition to everything that He loves. Yet He says, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but prefer that the wicked change his behavior and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil deeds!” - Ezekiel 33:11. The way in which His “deep love” is revealed to them, even before they repent, is when they come to understand that He died for them notwithstanding His abhorrence of them; “God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” - Romans 5:8. It should not be confusing that such a demonstration of love would bring a sinner to his knees in awe of His kindness and mercy. To say some “didn't have to realize how sinful they were” contradicts the message of the gospel in that without the recognition that they were sinners they would have no need of turning to a Savior. The first word Jesus spoke in His gospel ministry was “repent.” Without conviction of sin there is nothing to repent of and no need of salvation from it or its consequences. The conviction of sin is one thing all must have in common in their salvation regardless of their emotional feelings. That many hear of God’s love and naturally assume it to be an affectionate love is understandable because they have no other concept of love. Such a misunderstanding however has nothing to do with salvation because we are not saved by a proper understanding of His love but by a proper understanding of the gospel of His kingdom. “one thing that I find the most distrurbing is that there are some who hear the Gospel…want to be saved, but God doesn't seem to save them because they don't become different. They come to Jesus, but nothing happens.” One explanation is found in the parable of the sower - Luke 8:11-15. Unless the genuine gospel is truly believed, taking root deep in the heart, it will bear no fruit. How is it possible to repent of one’s sin and not “become different”? How is it possible to genuinely believe in eternal life and the resurrection of the dead without having a profound effect on how we live in this world? How is it possible to come under His Lordship and not be doing what He says? - Luke 6:46. According to Scripture, there is only one explanation and that is unbelief regardless of what one professes. As Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” - Matthew 7:21. “I genuinely believe that God has His favorites” “Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.” - Acts 10:33-34 “For God shows no partiality. For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.” - Romans 2:11-12 We find nowhere in Scripture anyone who ever desired salvation and God refusing to save them.
