does God love you
I got a ball at Twins Game. It was hit with love by Wlkins. I got to hear Piper who did a good sermon on evil and the Lords will in it, you all ought to go to a church like his because it focuses on the cross and inspired me in my walk. I do not hear it in church the cross and I want to hear it every time I am in church because it is the blood of Jesus and his cross is the reason I am in church. I went to see the team that Erin is on. I got to meet some of them. I gave my card to Zolman and asked her to email me. I am praying for Erin and always will. So if your on the team email me and say hi. Shanna your a great person and loved by the Lord tons and tons. I want to think on that some tonight and feedback is needed here.
Where ought we draw the line on the fear of God and the wrath of God?
I like to think of it like this, God is going to judge everyone according to the bible and we all have to account for all actions. We all are sinners and one sin sends persons to the fire of hell forever case closed. Most of the race is in that lane. If one breaks God rules one time that is the end of anything good and that person can never go to heaven. It is fairness that every one reading this blog has no hope inside themselves to ever die and go to heaven. All have sinned and failed to make heaven. If you not in Jesus and loving him fully and know your repented and trust him alone for forgiveness you ought to be fearing God because your without hope when you die as you will go to hell forever. No Jesus no hope.
Gods made man for fellowship and deeply lost fellowship with man. When we sin we are slapping our maker on to face. God saw that we were so hopeless that he wanted to show the great love for us. God had one thing to do and that is to in a way pay in hell for our sins. So he sent his most valueable thing and that is himself. He lived a life that he cnever sinned ever. In this he freely gave his life bercause this could be the wrath of God on display. Jesus takes the wrath of hell and grants the folks that trust him life forever. It is the good news. We get to know God as father and lord and he becomes our daddy. This is grace and it is not for the folks that do not take Jesus and repent.
I do not think good people go to heaven because there are no good people and no one ever has been ok to God. It is not that Jesus died did not die and allow all into heaven it ought to be the sheer question why ought Jesus died for anyone. He died for you if you take him and repent and place your hope inJesus.

uestion: "Does God love everyone or just Christians?"
Answer: There is a sense in which God loves everyone in the whole world (John 3:16; 1 John 2:2; Romans 5:8). This love in not conditional – it is based only on the fact that God is a God of love (1 John 4:8,16). God’s love for all of mankind results in the fact that God shows His mercy by not immediately punishing people for their sins (Romans 3:23; 6:23). If God did not love everyone, we would all be in hell right now. God’s love for the world is manifested in the fact that He gives people the opportunity to repent (2 Peter 3:9). However, God’s love for the world does not mean that He will ignore sin. God is also a God of justice (2 Thessalonians 1:6). Sin cannot go unpunished forever (Romans 3:25-26).
The most loving act of eternity is described in Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Anyone who ignores God’s love, who rejects Christ as Savior, who denies the Savior who bought him (2 Peter 2:1) – that person will be subject to God’s wrath for eternity (Romans 1:18), not His love (Romans 6:23). God loves everyone unconditionally in that He shows mercy to everyone. God conditionally loves only those who place their faith in His Son for salvation (John 3:36). Only those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will experience God’s love for eternity.
Does God love everyone? Yes. Does God love Christians more than He loves non-Christians? No. Does God love Christians differently than He loves non-Christians? Yes. God loves everyone equally in that He is merciful to all. God only loves Christians in that Christians have His eternal grace and mercy – the promise of His forever love in Heaven. It is God’s love for all that should draw us all to receive His eternal love.
