I latterly read an article, written past times believers for unbelievers, saying that Jesus loves everyone, fifty-fifty those who abhor him. I believe the authors meant well, only their disceptation was incomplete.
God gives all men "life support" (Matthew 5:45) as well as offers everyone salvation (John 3:16;1 Timothy 2:3-4; 2 Peter 3:9). It's accurate to country God provides for those who abhor him as well as offers them His love.
But the next verses must live on added:
- Only believers convey eternal life (John 3:16).
- Jesus as well as His Father honey those who obey Him (John 14:23).
- Only those who keep His commands remain inward His honey (John 15:10).
- The Father loves us because nosotros honey as well as believe inward Jesus (John 16:27).
Those who abhor Jesus volition live on eternally punished. If nosotros tending close their souls, nosotros volition warn them.
When nosotros piece of occupation out out parts of the Gospel to become inward to a greater extent than attractive to our culture, nosotros aren't doing God whatever favors. He knows amend than nosotros create how to utter to the hearts of sinners.
*See besides Psalm 11:5; Proverbs 6:16;11:20.
