Jesus Loves the Lost!

>Listen to this blog.

Then everyone who has faith in the Son of Man will have eternal life.

God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them!

No one who has faith in God’s Son will be condemned. But everyone who doesn’t have faith in him has already been condemned for not having faith in God’s only Son.

The light has come into the world, and people who do evil things are judged guilty because they love the dark more than the light.

John 3:15-19

It is such a joy when a man or woman who is lost turns around and comes to Jesus, trusts Him with all their heart, gladly confesses their faith in the Son and is buried with Jesus in baptism! There is joy in Heaven when that which was lost is found.

Does God love you more before or after you accept Jesus? The answer to that question is simple. The love of God cannot be measured. God loves you as much before you repent and turn to Jesus as He does after you are saved. God gives air to breathe to the righteous and the wicked.

God loves and Jesus died for His enemies. And that includes every despicably evil person on the face of the earth. A mother's love for a child on death row is like God's love for the lost. Is her heart broken? Oh, yes! Did the sin kill her love for the sinner? No it did not.

Don't bring people to Jesus so Jesus can start loving them. Bring men and women to Jesus so they can start loving Him.

"Lord help me to love the world as You love the world. May those who do not yet know You feel your love flow through me. As the old song said, 'Lord speak to me that I may speak, in living echoes' of Your Word."
