About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"THE LOVE OF GOD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
THE LOVE OF GOD
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE I HAVE TALKED TO OVER THE YEARS THAT SAY GOD WAS ANGRY WITH ADAM AND EVE AND THAT IS WHY HE PUT THEM OUT OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN. THAT IS NOT TRUE. LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN GENESIS 3:22-24 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. THE TRUTH IS THAT HE DID IT BECAUSE HE LOVED THEM. IF THEY HAD EATEN FROM THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, WHAT IS TO SAY THEY WOULD NOT HAVE EATEN FROM THE TREE OF LIFE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD HAVE MEANT? GOD DID.
JUST THINK A MINUTE, THEY HAD JUST GIVEN UP EVERYTHING BY DISOBEYING GOD. THAT MEANT THAT THEY COULD GET ALL THE SICKNESS AND DISEASES THAT ARE MENTIONED IN THE CURSE. LET'S LOOK AT THIS IN A SIMPLE WAY THAT WE CAN RELATE TO. CAN YOU IMAGINE GOING THROUGH LIFE BLIND? CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING BLIND AND LIVING FOREVER. HOW ABOUT CANCER, HEART PROBLEMS, OR ANY DISEASE? CAN YOU IMAGINE LIVING FOREVER AND HAVING SOME OF THESE? THIS IS WHY I SAY THAT GOD PUT THEM OUT OF THE GARDEN BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE FOR THEM. HE EVEN PUT ANGELS THERE TO KEEP THEM OUT.
I WILL TELL YOU HOW MUCH GOD LOVED THEM. HE DIDN'T EVEN IMPUTE THEIR SIN AGAINST THEM. ACTUALLY, HE DIDN'T EVEN HOLD CAIN'S SIN OF KILLING ABLE AGAINST HIM. IT TELLS US THIS IN ROMANS 5:12-13 WHERE IT SAYS "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law." THE LAW, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, DID NOT COME UNTIL MOSES, MANY YEARS LATER.
SO, GOD WAS NOT HOLDING SINS AGAINST THE PEOPLE THEN, BEFORE THE LAW, AND HE IS NOT HOLDING OUR SINS AGAINST US NOW SINCE JESUS. JESUS DIED FOR "ALL" SIN, THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD. NOW THAT IS LOVE.
I KNOW I KEEP REPEATING MYSELF BUT THAT IS HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS. IF YOU ARE NOT BORN AGAIN, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ACCEPT THE GIFT OF SALVATION. GOD LOVES YOU AND ONLY SEES YOU, NOT YOUR SIN, BUT YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT JESUS. JUST THINK, TODAY COULD BE YOUR DAY OF SALVATION. THAT GREAT LOVE THAT HE SHOWED TO ADAM AND EVE EXTENDS TO YOU TODAY. JESUS DIED FOR YOU...WON'T YOU TRUST HIM AND LIVE FOR HIM?
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE IN A CHURCH, YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE AND RIGHT NOW. JUST THINK ABOUT IT, LIVING IN HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE WITH ALL YOUR LOVE ONES WHO ARE THERE AND THE ONES THAT WILL BE THERE INSTEAD OF BURNING IN HELL FOR ETERNITY. THE DECISION IS YOURS BUT JESUS WANTS YOU TO SAY YES TO HIM. WON'T YOU DO THAT?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
