If God doesn't love everyone I wonder why scripture says "God wishes that NONE would perish but ALL would come to the knowledge of the truth."
God wishes that none of us murder each other and yet murder exists. Is it possible God has a moral will and a sovereign will that are distinct from each other?
No one said he doesn´t "love everyone" but there is a special love for the elect. The damned will never experience God´s love in eternity but suffer eternal judgment, so to claim that God has exactly the same love for everyone is completely unBiblical.
To tell someone they are loved unconditionally by God, is completely false.
@@Romans8-9 I have NEVER said Gods love is unconditional becuase the bible does not say say that. What I have said to you previously that he loves sinners ( you may disagree with the type of love He has for them.) My job is not to convince you that God's love for a sinful world was to save them from their sins) no matter what the bible says on God's love for the sinner you will say "It's a General Grace Type Love" not a love that cared enough to die for them.
Why did Jesus's so-called "General Grace Type Love" for the Rich Young Ruler ONLY talk of SALVATION ISSUES? and NOT common, grace type issues, such as work or the weather. Why did he tell the unrepentant Rich Young Ruler how to get into heaven if He only has a Common, Grace, Type Love for him? Why does the bible say "Jesus looking at him and loved him.... sell all you have and give to the poor and you will have riches in heaven." Jesus ONLY talked of SALVATION issues with him. Why, why , why, if He didn't want the the Rich Young Ruler to be saved from his sins.
@@letstalkbiblewithshun.s The question in the video, is if Gods love is unconditional.
@OP - You have to exegate that statement within the greater context of the scripture that it's in.
It's from 2 Peter 3:9 - The Apostle Peter is originally talking about the elect in Christ or the Body of believers.
The statement isn't referencing none meaning every human being that ever existed on the planet Earth at all times. You can't just rip scripture or pretty much any scripture out of its context; therefore the subject matter begins in chapter 3 verse 1:
2 Peter 3:1 ESV
This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved.
ROMANS 5:8 “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (ESV)
1 John 5:3
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”
You forgot to mention that you're a fallen creation in a fallen World that makes those easy commandments difficult to follow.
That's why we need Holy Spirit to overcome the world.
@KiLDiG Horror Movie Archive well, doesn’t justice require punishment for injustice? If it doesn’t, our courts (even if everything is just, without corruption or false charges) are tools for mass murder and persecution. The Law says that the one that kills must be killed: “...the murderer shall surely be put to death. " (Num 35:16). So a God that is just must punish injustice. It also says that the people that sin die because of their own sin, so it’s not only God who punishes sin, but people punish themselves. A good example would be Israel. God guarded Israel while they were obedient and stopped guarding them when they decided they don’t need Him. So He let them handle the consequences of their own sin. They wanted to worship and be ruled by other gods, so He let other gods with their nations rule Israel. But God is a God of mercy, so whenever people would repent He would forgive them: "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:4) and also Ephesians 2:8, Hebrews 8:12, Acts 10:43, Isaiah 55:7, 1st John 2:2, 1st Peter 4:8, Acts 17:30. Isaiah 43:25, Matthew 6:14, Mark 11:25, 1st John 2:12 and there is much more!
Peace be with you.
@KiLDiG Horror Movie Archive Where are you getting your sense of morality from? Without God morals are not objective. You can't even accuse God of being evil from your perspective because that is subjective. In reality though God doesn't murder anyone, God is the giver of life and can take it away whenever he pleases. He is a just judge and cannot be unjust because He is the definition of holy.
If you were to ask me when I was saved I would say since the foundation of the world. I don't know why I would say that. It's just what's in my heart. I am humbled by the grace given to me. My heart cries for the lost.
That's actually biblical
Thats a very beautiful way of amswering❤
Same
Well, read Romans and find a Biblical reason to say it. Your heart can't be trusted. Scripture can.
You say that because it is God's word that he chose us from the foundation of the world to be adopted as His children into His family. This is what most Christians miss. We are chosen to come to God and those He did not choose do not come. "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:" Ephesians 1:4
God demands that WE love OUR enemies so we know that He loves His.
Does God love Satan? Does he love him by condeming him eternally?
@@radfid5082 you could argue that God loved satan in his creation. He loved satan but now is his enemy and no where in the bible directly says that God loves him now. We must study what God meant by loving our enemies in contrast to How God loves Jacob but hates Esau (also an enemy of God).
@@radfid5082 but when God tells us to love our enemies, Satan isn't in that list. God tells us to love all men. And all our human enemies. Not just for the sake, but it has to be it's because God loves them. So it has to be that God loves them.
when God tells us to love our enemies, Satan isn't in that list. God tells us to love all men. And all our human enemies. Not just for the sake, but it has to be it's because God loves them. So it has to be that God loves them.
Timothy Ogonji even the reprobate that has been given over? Romans 1:15-32
From what I understand He loves all but still judges sin. Just because He loves us all doesn’t mean sin doesn’t matter to Him. Just because I think He loves us all doesn’t mean I think no one will go to hell. All sin much be paid for either by Jesus or ourselves.
We cannot save ourselves! What do you mean Jesus or us must pay for our sins! Jesus is the only one that Has paid our sin debt.
2:40
I've understood it as His love is unconditional, but His Mercy isn't.
God bless you Ligonier Ministries! Excellent answer from RC. The scripture says the righteous study to answer and the mouth of the wicked pours out violence and perverse things. Thanks be to God for Dr. Sproul's faithfulness to the Lord to study his word and accurately answer and proclaim the truth of God's word. I believe there is a crown of righteousness stored up and waiting for this brother from the Lord. I pray for RC Sproul daily and Ligonier Ministries.
Wow. Im so glad I learned this Dr Sproul!
wow what about Jesus
It's not traumatizing to you? I thought God loved all His children. That was very traumatizing for me to learn He only loves some of us.
@@nodramamomma8691 Its a sick perversion, its pagan stoic, gnostick,manacheian,platonist,Augustinian-Calvinistick lie..
Its acctualy terryfing to see how this sick perversion of God damages people..
@@nodramamomma8691 Who says all humans are God's children? Nowhere does the bible ever say all humans are God's children, Paul said in Romans 8 you have to be adopted by God to be his child.
I can prove this, the bible shows humans being cast into the lake of fire in Revelation, if all humans are God's children then you have God executing his children. Christianity often makes up these cute little doctrines not found in scripture such as God loves everyone, we are all God's children, you can't see the forest for the trees, cleanliness is next to Godliness etc.
Poor RC on oxygen, I hope he sticks around a long time though. He's needed.
😥
@@GeoffreyScott571 I'm not sad for him. He's enjoying eternity with the Lord.
The danger of these little video clips is that people will have the tendency to isolate the whole context from what Dr sproul is speaking. Therefore people who had never heard about him will disagree on the spot. We need to understand that there are biased opinions about the word of God. All truth belongs to God and we have the privilege to search it. But not recklessly. God gave us the Spirit so we have the tool of discernment. Stop arguing. that helps nobody. Our walk with christ is personal. We are not supposed to win arguments but to win souls. We are God's means for the extention of His grace.
well said, Justin!
Exactly
Love this
@C to know if something or someone is of God or if they are false/liars
But this little clip IS "the whole context from what Dr Sproul is speaking." He was asked a question and he answered it.
If everyone could be disobedient and still get his love, why did he flood us when we turned to extreme sinners
He knew their hearts and saw that their was no hope so he just hit the restart button that basically sums it up
Jason Jackson II Check out Genesis 6
@@bushdidnineeleven5418 so if he knows the future,past and present why create people whom u gonna later destroy
Often, in the OT, people performed a "sin offering," which basically means sacrificing a goat to atone for your own sins - that goat pays the price for you. (Some sins, which you can likely find in the Bible somewhere, cannot be atoned for if I remember correctly.) When Jesus was crucified despite being innocent, his death essentially served as a sin offering for all of mankind, which meant grace could serve as a means for humans to enter Heaven.
At the time of the flood, Jesus hadn't died yet, so there was no grace. Only justice.
@@tonywasikhongo7510 If God knows every single thing in the future, wouldn't that mean he knows every single thing he's going to do, thus making God a robot without free will unable to change his mind?
In agreement with this whole message and matthew 3:8, 2 corinthians 6:14-15, matthew 6:24, 1 john 3:10 I loosen to produce fruit while being in repentance of sins, binding every unequal yoke and common share with those not producibg fruit because of lack of repentance of sins, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
His love is unconditional, But he is also Just. His love is unconditional but his salvation is not.
Christ died for us when we were still sinners, that was the love that drove him to the cross, but repentance and trusting in Jesus is the condition for receiving Gods forgiveness and salvation.
according to the bible christ die for Israel no other nation acts 5/29/30 /31 then Peter and the other apostles answered and said we ought to obey God rather than men the God of our fathers raised up yahawashi whom god exalted him to be prince and saviour to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins according to the bible never mention no other nation
I agree totally
@@donaldcoleman514what do you think about Romans 10:11-13? There's no distinction between Jew and Greek/heathen anymore in Christ?
Jesus died for us when we were STILL sinners. That already says all
A great answer!
I don't get it clearly.....does he love me or not??? does he care for me just a tiny bit or not??????
God does love you!
God loves you.
@@Emily-rh2lmNot if she is a worker of iniquity, or wicked, or loves violence. Psalm 5:5 says God HATES ALL workers of iniquity. Psalm 11:5 says God’s soul HATES the wicked, and those who love violence. Do you actually read the Bible?
God is love and He extends that love to everyone. Not everyone will receive it. He invites everyone to come to His Son, but you have to come His way. In repentance, in humility, in full surrender, in believing the gospel. 1 Cor 15:3-4
You completely missed it lol, he does not extend his love to everyone, if that were so, he would save everyone, stop making Christ only half a Savior! Repent of your false gospel.
Christ came to die for the SHEEP ,not the goats, he died for the sheep with their sins laid upon him, taking upon the wrath of God, imputing his righteousness that he earned by obedience to God and his laws, justifyjng the elect (before God) whom he chose before the foundation of the world, Jesus is not a potential savior!!!
@@wellactually21 Mark 10:21 - Jesus loved the rich, young ruler. But he still walked away.
@@mikem3789 Amen!
@@wellactually21 DID you hear what Mike said????
Maybe He calls them to repent because He loves them?
1 John 2:15-17
Psalm 5:5-6
Romans 9:13
John 15
John 3:16 love shown in mercy
There is a difference between the merciful love of God, which led Him to send His Son, and the eternal love of God for those who He no logner see as sinners but He sees Christ in them.
He made a way for Him who hates sin and sinners (sin) to love them.
Only a true belieber can claim the love said in 1 John 4:10. We must not only look at the joy of being loved by God. We should also look at the proof of Faith through sanctification and perseverance.

@gherrrie Hello there, ignorant sheep.
The Bible presents a conflicting view on the nature of God, that's the problem here.
Yes, Jesus is Lord. I have no issue with that.
This dude is right
NO! God does not love everyone. In fact He hates some people. Psalm 5:5 says that He hates all workers of iniquity. Psalm 11:5 says His soul hates the wicked and those who love violence. Romans 9:13 God said He loved Jacob, but hated Esau.
we must repent daily, minute by minute and second by second ,, yes the Love of Christ sets us free
work’s mindset, you should repent because you’re thankful for what he did that you cannot
Rest in Him
@@kreigalm1723 only way to have rest is Christ
No, no, no! So, say you die before getting that last request to have your sin forgiven? Salvation isn’t a handshake deal today and lose it tomorrow and try again. Everyone is doomed to Hell if that’s the way salvation works, but it doesn’t!
was not talking about salvation but our walk with Christ abiding in Him but yes you make a good point thanks
John 3:16 it’s super complicated it’s not cut and dry God does love the world, but the same time hates the sinner.
"God hates sin but loves the sinners" is a tricky quote that is not perfectly right. So people often use it and criticize in a wrong understanding. But I think that quote is not completely wrong either. God loves the sinners in sense that He wants them to be saved (even the elected ones were also sinners too) and cleansed from their sins. And yes, God hates the evil doers because He hates the things that they DO. But He loves them in sense that He wants them to come to Him and accept Jesus. Btw it's all just my understanding, I'm open to discussing this with others.
Perfect understanding!!!
Heresy
Yea right

Really good explanation. I just dont agree with one Sentence:...he hates World.
John 3:16
God once tolde that He will be loving people, as Hes opening the gates for them to go to hell, BUT He also called someone 'insignificant', who was not living for Him, or who has not Jesus in his heart.
That was great!
RC Sproul... well he knows better now.... John 3:16 is NOT divided up into 3 types of love and Jesus died *_for sinners_*
You haven’t come across the hundred verses (or more) where Scripture says that God hates the wicked in addition to hating sin?
John 3:16 tells us the infinite love and grace of God that He would give His Only Son for the whole world, but that does not imply that all will be in Christ and therefore saved.
John 3:16 does not discuss the three types of God's love and neither does Scripture blatantly say so. But in His Word it's illustrated as such.
@@douglas61920 and since everyone sins... therefore everyone is wicked...we go right back to the FACT that John 3:16 is NOT divided up into 3 types of love and Jesus died for sinners
@@inTruthbyGrace The “world” even within Scripture, has multiple meanings. If you’re assertions are correct, than Romans ch.1-2 and Ephesians 1-2 make zero sense, along with words like “chosen” “elect” and “predestined” and especially John 15:16
@@douglas61920 wow... talk about missing the ENTIRE point.
It’s not our place to say who God loves, we all come to Christ with complete nothingness. He is good we are not. His character is just and good. His love is for all who come to him and the ones who thirst. Stay close to Jesus love him with your all because he’s given his all for you ✌️
So it's not my place to say God hates someone? Because I say he does
@@studentofthesaviors.o.s I meant to say it’s not our place for whoever god saves. I could have worded it differently.
Unbelievable answer to an unbelievable question. God does love everyone and desires all men everywhere to be saved.
Ps. 5:5; 7:11; 11:5,6; 9:17. Prov. 15:9,10,29. 2 Thess. 1:8,9.
No. In fact God hates many. "Jakob I loved but Easau I hated". Your argument is weak.
@@Wavesfromthenorth you must be part of the black /hebrew Israelites group which is nothing but a hate group trying to twist scripture into support your racist agenda you need to repeant because God loves all
In John 3:16, the word LOVE for the world is in past tense (only happened once), not in continuous tense, which pointed specifically to Christ died in the cross for us.
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD! WHOSOEVER calls upon the name of the Lord, SHALL BE SAVED! RC, God did NOT create CERTAIN people to go to hell. Will there be people who go to hell, absolutely. But NOT because God ordained them to go to hell, but because they REJECTED the Lord Jesus Christ.
according to the bible its says in Isaiah 45/17 but Israel shall be saved in an everlasting salvation ye shall not be ashamed or disgraced world without ends and that doesn't mean everyone
So he saying that God will put his love on pause every time until we repent our sin?
No God loves those who love God. How can the unGodly know love if they don’t know God?
I'm slightly confused on his answer, so he doesn't love the whole world? Or his love is different for certain people? But then he hates certain people as well? I know a lot of this is in Scripture and I know the Bible doesn't contradict yourself. How can someone say that God doesn't love everyone after reading john 3:16?
Psalm 5 5
God loves and hates sinners
Thank you for sharing this verse! I was looking for scripture where it states God’s posture towards those who are not walking according to His will!

@@EricSmyth2Christ Thank you 😊
He took over 3 minutes to not answer the question.
God love is not teathered to weather we choose him or not. He loves us all. Its not an issue of unconditional. Its a matter of his love being with us until we die. It his love that allows us to choose him. Your thinking that his love is a get out of free card. Thats dumb.
I love my daughter and if she needs to spend 2 nights in jail to learn the rules of not drinking and driving then so be it but i do this because i LOVE her. God is patient with our poor decisions because he loves us. But if we die without him then yeah Love doesn't save us. But it doesn't change the measure of his love either. His love simply ends at death at that point when we go to Hell.
It is actually BECAUSE of His unconditional, equal love for all people that God calls all of us to repentance. If God did not unconditionally love all people equally, He WOULD NOT CARE if some people never repented.
Yes, God’s will for his creation is a form of love. And so is his benevolent love which means that all can benefit from God while on earth. What RC has talked about numerous times is that God has a special kind of love for those who are saved through Jesus Christ, salvific love. He’s talked about the dangers of the overprescribed talking points of “God is love,” found in 1 John 4:8, and “God loves unconditionally,” which is not specifically cited in the Bible. Both of these have been detrimental to the Church because the listener thinks “I can keep sinning against God because I know that he will still love me.” Instead, the Church needs to preach more about repentance. Yes, we should talk about God’s love, but we also need to talk about God’s wrath.
@@sethvalencic3373 On the contrary, from personal experience I've seen that love comes with the burden and strength to become better. You simply can't experience the love of God and continue living in sin.

What a wonderful Explanation the way only R C Sproul could do it. Yes so many preachers say God loves you when the wrath of God is hanging over them. Repent therefore…
all because wrath is coming upon someone, doesn't mean God doesn't love them.
God is just, he must serve justice regardless.
John 3:16
If God says he so loved the world. I belive him over this man.
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.
according to the bible what world is scripture talking about let's see what the bible says hebrews 1/2 in these last days spoken to us by his son whom he has appointed heir of all things through whom also he made the world's so according to the bible it's more than one world let's see what world Isaiah 45/17 but Israel shall be saved in an everlasting salvation ye shall not be ashamed or disgraced world without ends can anyone show me in scripture where it says any other world
@@donaldcoleman514You can make the Bible say anything you want it to say when you change the meanings of simple words and take things out of context.
Genesis 6 says God decided to wipe all people off the face of the earth. When Jesus ascended back to the Father (Acts 1) people are left to make a decision on Jesus to receive him or reject him. The Bible tells us God will destroy the earth once more this time with fire.
Wonderful explanation! Sproul is one of the wisest preachers and teachers of the Gospel of our time! May God bless him!
Manuela, you are so correct! Thanks for your comment.
AMEN !!!
I'm confused about the love of complacency, how's that a good thing? I've always thought of complacency as being bad.
Looks Up the form of complacency he is talking about is of how God is proud of his creation.
don't look up anything in a dictionary go for old language websites. many words have been changed. Read it for yourself and let it sink in on you.
That's it, preacher, always keep folks wondering if God loves them or not. That's how you control them. Parse his love out into "love of benevolence" and "love of complacency" or whatever, as long as people doubt they are loved. But God's love does not have to be conditional for him to desire and command our repentance. God's love does not diminish one iota when he is angry with us. Even a human parent will love and never abandon children who are wicked. How could God do any less?
Proverbs 3:11-12
Revelation 3:19
Hebrews 12:6
There is a special love of discipline in the greek called "philio" love. This is the kind that goes to the sons of God, but not to the world
Imagine a puppy to his owner. This puppy person is loved in a unique way better than the other sons of wrath. Justification/Sanctification
It's easy to be a creation of God, it's harder/more rare to be a Friend of God
The reason why God calls us to repentance is precisely because He loves us, and doesn't want us to suffer hell, which is why He took the punishment for the whole world's on the Cross to save us. God is a Father. You cannot earn the love a Father. If God didn't love everyone unconditionally, then He wouldn't have sent Jesus, and if He did, he would've sent Him to call the righteous and not care to call the unrighteousness to repentance. God loves all people unconditionally, just like a real good father. But it is really God's favor that is earned.
Please, what does it mean that God so loved the world that He sent His uniquely begotten Son...? Is the world every person born into the world or only those who accept Christ as their personal Savior? I had thought God so loved every person in the world including those who reject and oppose Him. Does Jesus not teach and command us that we are to love our enemies?
Your enemies biblically speaking are the members of your household your neighbors at school in your community and so forth. The Lord never commands us not to bring people to justice who do evil. Those who are criminals must be punished. The Lord even disciplines his own children. This is clear in the scripture as well for it says that one who does not receive discipline from the Lord is an illegitimate child. For everyone who is a Christian participates in the sufferings of Christ. The scripture says when everyone speaks well of you it is a sign that you do not belong to God because they persecuted the prophets and they also persecuted the apostles they will also persecute you the Lord says to his children. In fact Jesus exact words are if they hated me they will hate you too. Christian people are people who delight in the law of God who desire to do good and practice righteousness they do not practice sin though they sin sometimes. Clearly Jesus tells us that not everybody is a Christian not everybody is saved the Lord is perfectly just to give justice to the one who he Wills and to give Mercy to whom who gives Mercy this is articulated in Romans 9. I hope that helps.

Salvation is not based upon genealogy or a certain ethnicity nor is it based upon good works rather instead as the Apostle Paul has said it is based upon his grace for the objects of his Mercy. God has a chosen elect out of every tribe and tongue. In Romans 9 this is clearly articulated. Therefore the Israel of God is those who are called by God according to his promise. In John 3:16 the statement "For God so loved the world" referred to God's chosen elect out of every tribe and tongue of the whole world. Let's listen to what the Apostle Paul has to say about who is the elect of God it has not anything to do with ethnicity or descendants of Abraham biologically it is according to the promise. For God has a chosen elect from eternity before he made the world he had already decided everything. Therefore the Lord had made objects of his wrath as well as objects of his Mercy. He has subjected the whole world to corruption so that he is just to justify whomever it is he Wills and hardens whoever he Wills. Whoever it is that has faith in Jesus Christ and is born in the Holy Spirit is the one who belongs to God. The Apostle tells us that faith is a gift from God in Ephesians. Remember he says "for it is by grace that you've been saved through faith and this is not from yourself nor by works but it is the gift of God." For Jesus said unless a man is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Now let's look in the context of Romans 9 may the Lord grant to you ears to hear what the Spirit has to say:
Romans 9
I am speaking the truth in Christ-I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit- that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh. They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen. But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named." This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring. For this is what the promise said: "About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son." And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad-in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls- she was told, "The older will serve the younger." As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?" But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?" Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory- even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? As indeed he says in Hosea, "Those who were not my people I will call 'my people,' and her who was not beloved I will call 'beloved.'" "And in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'sons of the living God.'" And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: "Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved, for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay." And as Isaiah predicted, "If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah." What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, as it is written, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."

Jason Panhorst I'm am not reading all of that novel... You don't know MY bible
Romans 9:3-4
[3]For I could wish that my selfe were accursed from Christ, for my brethren my kinsemen *according to the FLESH*:
[4]*Who are ISRAELITES: to whom perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the couenants, and the giuing of the Law, and the seruice of God, and the promises*:
Paul, being a Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin said his Brethren according to the FLESH (Blood) (genealogy)... who are ISRAELITES, are the ones that get the Adoption (Of Christ), All the glory of the kingdom, CovenantSSS (Old&New covenants is for israelites), The law, and *All promised pertain to THEM*.
Doesn't it say for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son? He does need repentance but he does love the world. It just doesn't last if you blaspheme the Holy spirit till death. Its not blasphemy to say God loves the world. Its blasphemy to say God loves the evil of it
Please listen again to Sprouls message. He said the complacent love of God does not abie in everyone but only those in Christ. It is blasphemy to say so otherwise
according to the bible does it say which world yes it does hebrews 1/2 has in these days spoken to us by his son whom he has appointed heir of all things through whom also he made the world's so according to the bible there's more than one world let's see which of these world's is the bible talking about Isaiah 45/17 but Israel shall be saved in an everlasting salvation ye shall not be ashamed or disgraced world without ends never mention no other nation
@@donaldcoleman514 which world did he die for?
Sadly, RC Sproul was biblically incorrect on this subject.
Let's say there is a very loving mother who loves unconditionally and she has 10 children. Only 4 of her children are good and the other six are bad. Is she going to cherish and love those four good children while hating and ignoring the other six? No she loves all the say and only see's the best in them all. The same goes for God/source love, he/she doesn't reject over half the human race while celebrating the rest, God goes after the lost sheep at all costs because that is with in God's very nature. As children we knew the love of God and experienced it unconditionally until we grew up to forget it. God is all loving and all powerful and all wise and knew everyone's life choices before the whole universe was brought into being and still loved us all absolute. God has a plan and it is working itself out perfectly.
Well said rc!!
Psalm 11.5 ,
The Lord tests and proves the [unyieldingly] righteous, but His soul abhors the wicked and him who loves violence.
For God so loved the world. Stop trying to water down God's love.
Romans 9:13
I can confirm jesus loves everyone no matter how sinful i was no matter how much i hated god in the past he never gave up on me never.
Do you speak for Jesus?
Then only those who experience God's love like you can confirm the He loves all...
Truth is you never gave up on believing in the bible.
prove it from the bible God love everyone when romans 9/13 as it is written for Jacob have I love but easu have I hated
@@donaldcoleman514 he also said to hate father and mother and even yourself yet he say says love your neighbor as yourself. I thought I just had to hate myself, if so how can i love anyone when im told to hate my own life.
Then it says honour your father and mother, I thought I had to hate them. No it's clear that there is different types of hate. It says love your , wife/husband then it says if you don't hate your spouse you cannot be my disciple. It's obvious that their is different types of hate.
Facts! This dude spoke facts. I will forward this video to people in the future.
His conditions are on every page of the Word
It's BECAUSE He loves us that He wants us to come to Him. It's BECAUSE Christ died to save THE WORLD. Not that all would be saved but those who believe in Him.
We don't come to Christ for God's love we come to Him for redemption and forgiveness.
Imagine a lost person saying to you "I hate myself, God doesn't love me" and then being like "that's right, God doesn't love you and neither do I". Absolutely ridiculous. If you are reading this then GOD LOVES YOU. He made you because He LOVES YOU and wants you to know Him. Sproul gets this wrong.
Amen! Amen! Amen!

Someone Explain this to Dr. William Lane Craig.
I'm a Christian but I believe God has like 1% Love for me
Why u say that??
We are not a Christian we are isralites read.your Bible tell.your pastor stop lieing to you
Read “Trusting God: Even When It Hurts” by Jerry Bridges or one of CS Lewis’s books. The adversity you face is gifted to you so that you become dependent on Him. He’s trying to grow you, not tear you down. Remember that your afflictions are only momentary and keep your eyes glued to the majesty of heaven.
only Truth bro not all Israelites loved JESUS though hence SLAVERY. It's sad pastors dont say IT but I feel they reject it honestly and just focus on the HOLY SPIRIT
You are loved greatly by Him, please never doubt him
Sproul was a smart guy, but he's totally wrong here. God's desire for a sinner to repent is in no way inconsistent with His love. Indeed, the very reason God desires repentance is so that He can be reconciled to His creature! We need to stop thinking of hatred and love as opposites. It is not always so.
I suspect Sproul's Calvinist theology obligated him to consider the reprobate (those who go to hell) as people who God ONLY hates, since of course they are reprobate specifically because God destined them to be so. Under this system God wills the reprobate not repentance and salvation, but destruction. His "hatred" of sinners is the same sort of hate that the devil has for all mankind.
Thankfully Sproul no longer believes this.
Jonathan darnel- No,you are wrong! You serve a god who cannot save anyone unless man cooperates, making god out to be just a beggar, only making man savable. The bible teaches God actually saves a people for himself and gives his life for the sheep. John 6:37 is clear "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." Then Jesus procedes inV39 to say that he loses NONE!!! a certain number was given to jesus by the father and Jesus says he loses none of them. According to your false belief, God is losing his sheep every day since God then loves everyone and is unable to save anyone unless man responds or cooperates leaving salvation up to man. You have a man centered gospel!
@@teemu1381 you forget how Jesus said that none of them is lost except one, the son of perdition, meaning Judas. Judas was sent to preach the Gospel along with the rest of the disciples. He was numbered with us, said Peter, and had obtained part of this ministry. He fell by transgression from his ministry and apostleship.
James Adkins- The NONE that Jesus loses NONE of are God's Elect (his sheep). You seem to forget there are Sheep and there are Goats, and Jesus Gives his life for the sheep. (John 10:11-15) It's not hard to understand this. Judas was NONE of his as Judas did not believe.
@@teemu1381 Is that why he was sent to preach the Gospel because he was none of His? Please study some more and check out what I quoted from the Bible.
James Adkins- Judas did not preach the gospel. Boy you are an idiot! The Bible says that NOTHING can separate "us" from the love of God in Romans 8:38-40 and yet God loves everybody and yet people are being separated from the love of God. You need to study and compare scripture with scripture. Judas was a vessel is of dishonor. John 6:70-71 " Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" "He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve." Devils don't preach the gospel lol When you are done being an idiot troll, we can talk.
GOD,the GOOD CREATOR LOVED All Sinners but not Their Sins.But there is no need for GOD to Let the Wicked to Suffer for Their Evil Works Shall Lead Them to Their Own Damnation.HE Knows What is GOOD to ALL HIS Created Beings both Good and Evil, and HE is Kind even to the Evil.
Isaiah 45:7 The Most High make peace and create evil...The Most High do all these things.
It think this is the danger of Calvinism,, it stretches everything like the depravity of man and the grace of God to the point that God now condemns people to hell before they were even born. That God chosed every one who will be saved even before the foundation of the world. Consequently, He also chose before hand those who will be destined to hell. It misrepresents John 3:16. Telling people now that He loved only those whom will believe and those who will believe he already pre- appointed before their birth, John 3:16 is simple. H loved the whole world that is why He gave His Son as ransom for the all the people. But He also has his divine justice in that all who will not believe cannot partake of the atonment of anyone's sin by Christ death on the cross. His divine justice dictates that everyone who sins will go to hell. And everyone is a sinner, yet His love through His sin overrides this punishment in that If anyone will believe in Christ, it will be that substitute to that person's punishment in hell is Christ death and agony on the cross, This the balance God I believe in and not a god who sends to hell by using a spinning wheel to determine which goes to hell and which goes to heaven with God.
Nobody knows that answer everything is just questions. We have to make the right decision with our heart and mind. And when we leave this life will get answers. But for know like the old saying treat people how you want to be treated.
Christians believe that God has spoken to humanity so we can know about Him, so that we can have answers. God's words are in the Bible. Jeremiah 17:9 says "The heart is deceitful above all things", so it's definitely not a good idea to trust your heart because humans are sinners and their sinful hearts are going to lead them only into more sin. The bad news is that we're all unable to please God because of our sin. He requires absolute perfection and holiness, which is not possible for a human to accomplish. So all of us are damned by default. God is a wrathful Judge who demands every last sin be paid for. His justice and His holiness are eternal and infinite. But He also gets great pleasure from saving sinners. God is pleased to demonstrate His love, grace, mercy, patience, and kindness. He deals with every single sin, but He does it in two ways. Either Jesus atoned for it, or Jesus will cast you into hell for it. We need Jesus to atone for our sins, and we also need His perfect righteousness applied to us because we could never be righteous enough to earn heaven on our own. No amount of good deeds can ever gain God's favor or earn salvation. We can only be saved by God's grace, through faith in Jesus alone, not by anything that we can do for ourselves. Without faith in Christ you will not see heaven. Everyone must believe in Jesus Christ to be saved.
"as it is written: 'No one is righteous, no, not one'" (Romans 3:10)
"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8)"
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
"Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.” (Act 17:30-31)
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God." (John 3:16-18)
"For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
He leaves the 99 and goes after the one !!!! GODS LOVE ALWAYS WINS !!
He goes after the one who He has already elected to BE His, thus He has loved even before creation (Eph 1:4). God does not go around begging for followers.
Yes, that's true, but the one that He is pursuing can still say " NO " This is just to put things in perspective
You could speak in who God chooses your love and why .The conclusion Jesus died for all of us even those you don’t like or those that don’t agree with your theological perspective. I know it’s sucks to know that his love had no human measure .He will always choose love
Just relax and enjoy his love .
@@junedoh5073 can an un believer just relax and enjoy God's love too? that is the result of claiming God's love by the unbelievers. They claim His love without submitting to Him. To let people understand Love the main focus must be how we are sinners and must repent. Because incomplete revelation of the truth results in "incomplete" faith. I think this was the issue being addressed.
Mat 8:11 11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was *LOST*
12 How think ye? If a man have a hundred *SHEEP* and one
of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine,
and goeth into the mountains and seeketh that which is gone astray?
not wolves, not goats, not snakes, not scorpions, but SHEEP
Christ is talking about the lost sheep of the house of Israel
i.e. the 10 lost tribes Asher, Dan, Ephraim, Gad, Issachar, Manasseh,
Naphtali, Reuben, Simeon, and Zebulun
Matt 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto
*the lost sheep of the house of Israel*
John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold:
them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall
be one fold, and one shepherd.
The other sheep are the house of Judah which are the tribes
Judah and Benjamin, *and there shall be one fold* the two houses
or two sticks become one again.
Christ died for Israel, you must be grafted into the olive tree of Israel
to be saved.
he is dead wrong for this. God calls us to repentance and pleads with humanity because HE LOVES US ALL. if He didnt love us, He wouldnt have sent His Son for ALL of us!! scripture declares that God sent His Son to die for the WORLD. not some of the world. this was not based on any condition. this was unconditional and purely from His heart
Lets say
You sead he is love (you did )
But do you love him?
What example do you have
That could gloryfly him
Cense you say he is love??
WOW! For an educated man, he sure was deceived and ignorant concerning the love and nature of God. Very sad. The good news is that now, he is completely aware of the love of God.
We are called to be Christ like. We are told to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and our neighbor as ourself, and to love our enemies. God wouldn't ask us to love anyone He hates. Our love is not greater than the love of God that's been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who endwells every believer. His love surpasses understanding.
Wrong! ye do era the scriptures
@@johnnybailey9938 could you be more specific?
@@johnnybailey9938 I guess not.
Proverbs 6:16-19 6 things The Most High hates 7 is a abomination unto him.
1 John 4:7-21 - God Is Love.
Therefore he must hate
This is philisophical nonsense and is not found in the Bible. Love is clearly defined by Paul in 1Cor 13 and John tells us twice God is Love in his first epistle.
If you come to Scripture with a hermeneutic of limited atonement you have to make these mental gymnastics but it makes little sense to me. Obviously I could be mistaken but it could be RC who has got ir wrong. We continue to study and pray.
Last time I checked, “the world” included everyone. 🎚📖
The "world" in the Bible has varying definitions. "God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son." "Friendship with the world is enmity with God.
Either God loves something he hates or the world has multiple meanings. The world in the context of the first passage can't mean everyone since if it did, everyone would be saved. The Bible clearly doesn't teach universalism.
@@Romans8-9
I suppose “the world” in 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 means something completely different also, “Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the WORLD to Himself, not [a]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.”
It is an error to say that Christ dying for the whole world and Universalism are one and the same thing. But Calvinists do not understand the difference and get trapped in a box of their own making because they don’t believe in free will. 🎚📖🙏🏼
@@oldglory6922 AFAIK Calvinists believe in free will just not when it comes to salvation.
@@oldglory6922 If Christ is omniscient and indeed died for the world and everyone in it, surely he would be able to save everyone.
@@Romans8-9 you can love somone you hate. God was angry with me in my sin and no doubt hated it. But he strengthened his love towards me while I was yet a sinner and still chose to die for me. He was angry with me every day but still yet strengthened his love towards me. If he didn't love the world who could be saved?
Classic Sproul.
Uses terms outside of scripture to restrict biblical terms.
Then shoehorns the extra biblical meaning into the biblical term
Then makes a philosophical argument without a single scripture reference.
He also does a switcharoo to make “love” = “salvation” which it does not.
As I say, classic Sproul.
Another great example is his great little book on Calvinism where he spends an entire chapter arguing for Limited Atonement without a single scripture reference 😁
Great philosopher, not so great Biblical Scholar. 🤷🏼♂️
(hate incoming)
No hate here i can not add any more truth than what you have spoken 💯
Ok, Ask yourself this if you’re the person that falsely believes, “Jesus Christ loves everyone.” Does God love those he puts in Hell, to be tormented, day and night, for eternity? No!! So, there’s the correct answer, Jesus Christ, does not love everyone,(Unless you’re Saved!) God so (Loved) the world (Past tense, at one time), when the Father gave his only begotten Son.
God loves us so much, he will send most of us to hell.

I'm not saying you don't need to repent or that he doesn't hate aspects of us. But it's right there; he loves us so much that he was willing to send his son to die for us in our place.
Depends on who the " Us" is. Its unbiblical to say that God loves those who even reject Him in their deathbed. To assume that God loves everyone is to make God out to condradict His holy nature.

Sproul says for God does NOT love the whole world! Total distortion of John 3:16!
Jesus, a spitting image of God in human form, loved everyone on earth. He loved and spoke to the people that needed him most. The prostitutes, the murderers, etc. Jesus died so it could be possible for the entire world to be saved thereforth. One of the MAIN things God wants US to do on this earth is love, just as Jesus loved us. Matthew 5:44 says: “But I say to you, Love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you”. We are called to love all just as God would. Why would a PERFECT God nor love all? If He has any hatred towards people, he would not be a perfect God. John 15:12 says: “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you”. and 1 John 4:8 says: “Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love”. God is love and all he does is perfect and is right for us. In this video, the man says God does not love everyone unconditionally. He is wrong. God loves all unconditionally. No matter how much sin is in your life, He loves every single human and he wants what is best for them.
Lucas van der meer I’m not saying we don’t need repentance or we don’t need to accept Christ, of course we need those things. I’m just saying God loves everyone unconditionally saved or not. God hates the sins we commit, yes, that doesn’t mean he hates us.
Lucas van der meer You stand corrected. In that case, did Jesus hate some people? And “hate all workers of iniquity” does that mean God hates satanists?
@@Jacob.S. if Jesus did not hate anyone, do we disregard all of the verses pertaining to God's hate? Did he change from hating sinners, esau, etc. to no longer hating anyone at all?
Athan I personally now believe that God hate’s those who fully betray Him and go against him with all their heart. The people who are fully corrupted.
God says for us not to be jealous but He is jealous. God must hate because He is totally righteous.
Your comment highlights everything that is wrong with the 21st century American church as you describe Jesus as only being one sided. Jesus’ actions as described in Revelation might come as a surprise to many who think of Him only as one who was a good teacher. His actions in Revelation as anything but “loving” to the unrepentant.
And how do I become in Christ?
Pray to the Lord who sees you. Ask that He would reveal the doctrine of salvation to you and read the new testament. Read and read till you understand what it means to be saved by Christ and therefore in Him
@@dillanherrera8534 thank you for your answer. My next question then would be, why would I do it? Why would I want to become one in Christ?
@@hannahgallifrey the Bible tells us that we are dead in sin, meaning not only are we dead in this life, but we will also face death in the life to come because God is holy and righteous and must judge all unrighteousness. If He did not, He would not be Holy.
Lord Jesus talks a lot about this spiritual death called hell, which is eternal separation from God. The mistake of sinful men is they downplay hell saying that if it really does exist, they would not mind going there.
But God would not have offered His Son at the ultimate price if the stakes were not high. Plus Jesus describes hell as weeping and gnashing of teeth. Recall in your life when you have ever weeped, not cried. Or whenever you have gritted your teeth our of pure anger.
Plus Jesus talks about a rich young ruler who was cast into hell and he pleaded for a simple drop of water to be satisfied. Now think about desperate times when you would only desire for merely a drop of water to ease your pain.
The other part to being in Christ is that eternal joy is offered you. We deceive ourselves and tell ourselves that sin is the best pleasure but if never fully satisfies. You'll end up wondering if that's really it to this world. But one cannot fathom eternal joy, but it's offered nevertheless for all who are in Christ.
Seek Jesus. He‘ll help you Witz everything. God bless you 💗
@@hannahgallifrey Because if you don´t, you will die in your sins and be sent to hell for disobedience against God and his laws. So you would want to be saved from the hell that you deserve. You and I broke God´s law, Jesus paid the fine with his life´s blood. All you have to do is repent of your sins, throw yourself at his mercy and put your trust in him as Saviour. Amen.
God does not love everyone. People who say this should read the Bible. Never does it say that. God does not love most people.
He explains that if God loves us unconditionally we could do anything we want. I think this would be more correctly stated as, "If God blessed us unconditionally we could do anything we want."
first of all the most high doesn't love everyone romans 9/13 as it is written for Jacob I have love but easu I have hated the most high love Israel forever never mention no other nation of peoples 1 kings 10/9 blessed be the most high who delighted in you setting you on the throne of Israel because the most high love you Israel forever never mention he love everyone so if you're not Israel the most high doesn't give a f what other nations do deuteronomy 1/1 these are the words which moses spoke to all of Israel never mention he spoke these words to not other nation of people unless you can prove it from the bible
People truly want to come to Christ. They've truly seen the dire error of their ways and so they repent with all their hearts, they "get saved" and do their utmost best to live holy lives in Christ from the moment of "rebirth", just to hear that it really doesn't matter. You can accept Christ, but that doesn't mean he will accept you. This is greatly disheartening, it is discouraging and downright heartbreaking. I feel these are the types of things that turn would-be Christians away from Christianity and religion altogether. If it is predestined/predetermined who God loves and who will receive paradise, why would a person even want to try? We already fear rejection from every angle and now potential (and from the sounds of it...probable) rejection from God--despite our turning from our evil ways? I just cannot imagine this. I can't fathom it...not at all.
Thing is, if a person is willing to come to Christ, if he really wants to become a children of God, that's because God wanted it first by starting a regeneration process. As Jesus said He will cast out nobody but people will come to Him only if thr Father choses them first. Remember, we all deserve hell and we go there freely. It's amazing that God is capable of even loving any of us. Nobody is worthy, we all should die and perish. Nobody who truly is willing to come to Christ will be cast out or considered as a non-elect, because to come to that point would only mean God has called that person.
This man has bumped his head too many times! This is why the world is like it is! If you believe god created all of us but only really loves a few then why did god create everyone?
regardless of God creating everyone, hell exists.
@@krisl2838 does it or someone told you that?
@@bubbie23jw It exists whether someone tells me or not
@@bubbie23jwso you've read it in your Bible translation, which used Hell for Gehenna (sometimes Hades) or "lake of fire"?
Yeah. Because he does.
So God still continue in creating non believers that He actually don't love them... so isn't that funny?
For God so loved (egapesen) the world... pls reformed people stop putting God in the small box namely brain.
Yes. God loves everyone! His Agape is for everyone. According to John, "we love because He first loved us".
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the WORLD (Kosmos, the universe)....

The Bible was not written for heathen, reprobate, unbelievers.
The condition for God loving you is belief and said faith is a gift of God given to all his elect. Faith is a fruit of the spirit, the evidence you have been born again, which is a work of the Holy Spirit.
The vast majority of mankind have been ordained for destruction - The Lord makes this clear in Mat 7 13/14.
God didn't make them non-believers.
That´s like saying, God created sinners. We chose to sin, that isn´t God´s fault.
@@grahamneville9002 aha.. I've been through a long discussion if not fit to be called "debate" with some friends about TULIP...
Does God love the lost souls in the eternal torment of hell?
@Brian Richardson Correct! So, did He ever love them? Yet Jesus tells us to love our enemies why? I believe it is because we do not know who the elect are but God knows. Deut 29:29 Someone may be our enemy today but our christian brother tomorrow i.e. Paul the apostle.
@Brian Richardson Yes, regarding the doctrines of salvation .
@Brian Richardson I believe God the Father chose me in Christ before He created the world and predestined me for adoption by Jesus Christ according to His good pleasure and will Eph. 1:4,5 That which God has not revealed unto me I do not know.
@Brian Richardson Are these all gotcha questions? Do you have a Bible? 2Tim 2:15
@Brian Richardson Challenge huh? ok. The Lord is longsuffering toward us not willing that ANY should perish but that ALL should come to repentance 2 Pet 3:9 Jesus speaking, Capernaum, if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom it would have remained until today. Matt 11:23 So, why didn't the Lord perform the mighty works in Sodom so they could have repented? Jesus said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of God but those outside it is hidden Lk 8:10 Why would the Lord speak in parables but explain them only to His disciples doesn't He want everyone to repent? 2 Cor 4:3 If our Gospel be hid it is hid to them that are lost. God's not willing that any should perish why He hide it?
The Most High doesn't love everyone. Not all of the children belong to Him. Read Psalms 5:5 He hates all evil doers.
God loves everyone but, he is also just, it is up for people to decide to follow him, they make there own decision not God, if you choose not to follow God he loves you still but, he has to be just.
Wrong. We all reject God by sinning therefore, we don´t make the decision to choose God since we have already rejected him by our disobedience. Its up to God on who he chooses to have mercy on (Romans 9). As a sinner, I rejected God many , many times but in his infinite mercy he decided to save me later in my life despite me not being worthy of it. It was all God and nothing to do with me, and anyone who suggests they played a role in their own salvation clearly have delusions of grandeur.
God's love is unconditional. If it was conditional then why does Scripture say that He loved us before we even loved Him?
Love doesn't mean you tolerate their sin. Love offers the chance for life. God told Israel to CHOOSE life. If we don't choose life then death is the natural result. Unconditional love doesn't mean that the outcome will be the same, unconditional love means that despite our evil and self-destructive ways he loves us and hopes we come to the realization of the riches of His love and grace. If we continue in our ways their is a consequence, and it is a result of our own stubborness and choice, not because of the lack of the love of God. God loves all men, it must be true because Jesus died for all men.
"Hopes we come to the realization". So God is sitting there with fingers crossed, hoping the next sinner will repent?
God´s love is conditional.
Proverbs 15:29. Tell me that is unconditional love with a straight face.
I waited for that verse, you stated in the beginning of your comment. When I reflect the live I had, before I found God, I am totally sure, that he loved me always. :)
@@owrah2198 You are right in a sense that God loves first but repentance is conditional. God doesnt love everyone as they are (unconditionally). He loves those he chooses and transforms them. And you didnt find God, God found you. The shepherd finds the lost sheep not the other way round.
@@Romans8-9 Thank you for your answer! Then I am called. God found me, you are right. But I made the leap of faith to trust him. Jesus told me once: Ich liebe dich, Carl.
Which means: I love you, Carl.
He is really good and I believe he has good things in store for everyone! Keep the faith. You are blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavens! And dont forget to do good deeds, when you have the opportunity to.
