** Seek the face of The Lord God!


** Seek the face of The Lord God!

In Eze. 33:11 God makes it very clear that He receives no pleasure from the death of the wicked.
If you and I find it in our heart to enjoy the prospect of people being lost, eternally separated from God, then regardless of what we may believe about ourselves we do not know God.

He has poured out all of heaven that we and others might have an opportunity to have eternal life! And we need to reflect that kind of love - in our actions and in our words.
The Lord God is pure love and wants no person to parish!

John 3:16-17New International Version (NIV)

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 3:16-18 The Message (MSG)

16-18 “This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.

God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.

Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why?

 Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.



16-17 This is how we’ve come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us.
  This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves.
If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God’s love?

It disappears. And you made it disappear.

" Do you get it yet? "
