Before the children were born in the beginning, sin came, and that made His own come as sinners, so He Came Himself in the form of a man seeking the ones of His that was lost, as you had to have that at one time as your own, or it could not be lost, and they were on His Book, so He came to save them.
God so Loved the world of believers, that His Love was Eternally resting on them, but to the Un-Believer, His Wrath rested on them, and not His Love.
Out of the same womb came Cain and Able, Esau and Jacob, Ishmael and Isaac. From the Apostles came the Apostles and Judas. Twins in every age of the Love of God on one, and His Wrath on the other.
God only knows who are His, so don't write off anyone today who is in error, and who knows God may draw Him to Himself. No one can come to the Father, but has to come by Jesus, and no one can come to Jesus, unless the Father draws Him, and all that comes to Jesus cannot be taken from His Hand, but will be resurrected to live with Him Etarnally. No one can be a believe unless God moved on that heart, so the start, the groweth, and the finish is all of God by His Good pleasure. Salvation is of the Lord, and not of men, so preach the Gospel-net to all the world, and God will use it as He sees fit, as there are some fish out there, some frogs, tadpoles, spiders,etc. It is our business to bear witness to His truth, and commit it to God.
God so loved the world of Believers, that He made man in His Image, but that was lost in the beginning, so then God was made in the Image of Man, and gained it back, and through that, as a Gift to the Believer, will be made in the Image of God to live with Him Eternally.
There are some who teach that God 's Will was that all men might be saved, and come to the knowledge of the Truth. Now you cannot have a Scripture that teaches one concept, or one meaning, and another Scripture completely opposite, as who would know what was God's Will? To me the meaning is God's Will that men of all colors, nations, all natures, lifestyles, will come to repentence and be saved. How come if it was God's Will for all men to be saved, only 8 was in the Ark with Noah and his family that got saved ? Jesus said as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man.
John 3;16 is for Believers only, as the wrath of God abides on the unbeliever, so Fear, Love, respect, honor God, and become a believer, or you are lost.
Now the Old Covenant was only to the Nation of Israel, and the New Covenant is only to God's Elect.If your name is not on the Lamb's Book of Life, you are lost, and it was put there before the world evers was, as it was put there by God selecting it for His Will and Good pleasure. The Clay needs to let the Potter Work.
The Bible says also of a whole Nation was blinded, but a remnant will be saved. Another Scripture says the same in Romans 9;27.
Romans 11;21--For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest He also spare not thee.
22----Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, IF thou continue in HIS Goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23---And they also, if they abide NOT still in unbelief, shall be grafter in: for God is able to graft them in again.
Now if a sinner sins, the Lord is angry, as He says He is angry with the wicked every day. Now the Wrath of God does not fall right then on that sinner, as if it did, people would see God means business, and fear God and sin. Now if the Christian sins, the wrath of God cannot fall on Him, as that fell on Christ at Calvary. Christ will spank him in Love to correct him.
Isaih 3;10,11 says that God will make it ILL on the sinner, and well with the Christian, as He gives the Fruit of their own doings, as you have to harvest what you plant, Spiritual or natural.
I can't tell it all, but I hope this will be a blessing to the believer in this dying world.
Right is right if all the world is against it, and wrong is wrong if all the world is for it.
