A few weeks ago this question arose at Church. Some of us were more than a little surprised to hear it stated that God does not (or may not) love everybody! Is this true? Does God love some and not others? For many years now, a popular method of witnessing or evangelising has been to tell people (sinners) that God loves them. Is this true? Is it Biblical? What does the Bible have to say on this? Can you back up your beliefs with Scripture?
Beryl has started a study with the following Scriptures:-
I have searched and studied the Bible on this subject, and this is what I read - Psalm 11:5 '….the wicked and the one who loves violence His SOUL hates.' 'His soul' is the part that makes me stop and wonder. Why not just 'God hates the wicked'?
I have always thought the wicked meant those…
I read these interesting verses from Johns Gospel today:
John 14:16–23 KJV - And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Fellowhip, Bible study and prayer.
All I can say is AMEN! A good solid Mothers Day message.
