ALIVE AND YET FOREVER LOST part 1
God is love ,some think that is all He is.The scriptures teach He is a loving God.He is also a God of wrath.
Remember in leviticus 10 :2 , fire came from the lord and destoryed Nadab and Abihu.He also rained fire from Heaven and destoryed sodom.There is more of such.
God, in love , offer salvation to all men.It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1 corinthians 1 :12b "For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe through the nonsense of our preaching"
After the word is given ,the Holy Spirit calls and man rejects.God is under no further obligation.Understand ,it is impossible to be saved without the conviction of the Holy spirit.The Holy spirt will convict in other to turn your mind and thinking pattern to submission.
John 6 :44 "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him to life on the last day."
After the Holy spirit conviction ,some want to wait,put off , delay but they might wait too long.
We need to show the world and believe God's love was evidenced in Eden.In the garden He completely provided for man.When the first family failed , He reached down in love and redeemed them.
His love is also seen in sending His Son Jesus christ. God owed man nothing.He could have required much from him , as most expected .But He gave His son
Romans 5:8 " But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah died for us while we were still sinners"
His love still reigns for all ..we see this as we face the love when we look at Calvary.
God loves man and desires to see Him saved.
Bear in mind that ,it is impossible to be saved without the conviction of the Holy spirit.
