God's great love for us is expressed in John 3:16-17 when Jesus says,
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
God must truly love man. Because if he didn't he would not have shown so much mercy to mankind for so many years. He would have judged the world long ago. But He has waited and waited year after year. What has God waited so long for? Why has he not judged the world before now?
It is because of his great love for us. God loves us so much that he does not want any to perish. That is why he has held off his judgement of the world for so long. He is like a father who loves a child so much that even though the child deserves to be punished, he prolongs the spanking, hoping the child will heed his verbal warnings, turn and obey.
Well, God's verbal warnings come through his word, the Bible. He has warned that a time of judgement is coming upon the world. A time that is so terrible that unless God shortens the days, no one will survive! That day approaches even as I write this blog. In the Bible it is known as the day of tribulation!
The economy collapse, the turbulent weather, wars and threats of war, the rise in domestic violence, international unrest, plane crashes, tsunamis, and overall worldwide destruction are signs that God's judgement is finally upon us.
Jesus, the Savior spoke of this time. And in the midst of impending destruction, his words still echo through time!
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Won't you call upon Jesus today, while there is still time. Tomorrow might be too late! Repent of your sins by telling him you are sorry for your sins. Ask him to forgive you for your sins and to be your Savior and Lord. Thank him for dying for you on the cross and shedding his blood for you. He will save you just as he has saved me and others. Do it now. Don't put it off!
Receive God's love now, so that not matter what happens in the world you might not perish but have everlasting life!
