    In what way do you believe God specifically shows his love for unrepentant sinners who are in hell?

    If man is imortal, if man can not die, if we do not die in every way because of sin. Why did Jesus give us the gift of life? The concept of the atonement is useless if we do not die. Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him...

    Understanding God’s election

    Paul states that the law points out sin.. Sin is the transgression of the law. No law = no sin. We are all sinners but by grace Christ imputs His perfect righteousness to us.. Do we continue to sin ? Do we continue to lie? Do we continue to commit adultery and covet or take God's name in...

    It is God that does the work in my heart and it is God that recreates an new heart within me. But I need to surrender my heart to God.. My personal experience is that when I give my heart to God (fully surrender) and ask Him for help, I recieve His. But if I ask and don't give my heart fully...

    Saved by faith alone?

    Being saved is about standing before God the Father and being judged as righteous or not righteous. With our own efforts we will never be acceptable. But if Christ imputs, places, His righteousness on us we are seen as perfect. Justification by faith is being seen as just and Holy because of...

    God is love. His justice and glory is so great it should not be the fear of pain that causes us to obey but because we love God so much that we fear that sin seperates us from Him. Fear of separation and hurting our saviour should be the motivation to obey. "If you love me keep my...
