You've heard it.
Maybe you've said it out loud.
Perhaps in the quietness of your own heart.
I just can't believe that a loving God would choose to send people to hell...
He doesn't.
The loving God chooses to love you and I while we are still in our sins.
The loving God chooses to tell us the consequence of those very sins is death.
The loving God chose to send His only Son to suffer that death for you and I.
The loving God chose to resurrect His Son so that death may be defeated.
The loving God chooses to tell us that by His own Son's death and resurrection, you and I can now approach His throne because our relationship with Him has been restored.
The loving God chooses to show us that saving faith in Jesus Christ will lead to eternal life.
The loving God chooses to tell us in advance that if we reject the work Jesus did on the cross, we will be eternally separated from Him.
The loving God chooses to tell us, repeatedly, that it's not His desire that any should perish and be separated from Him.
The loving God chooses to give you and I opportunity after opportunity to trust Him with our very being.
The loving God chooses to not bend you to His will and force you to believe.
The loving God chooses to give you the choice.
He has chosen.
The cross...
The grave...
The resurrection...
He has chosen.
You...
Me...
Them...
May we choose Jesus Christ again and again, day after day, hour by hour.
The stone is moved
The darkness scattered
No shadows of deceit inside.
The Lord has proved
Our redemption mattered
Beckoning, Come, won't you be My Bride.
