Subject: {dbilg} Father "so loved the world"
When the Father “so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,” He
gave Him to the world—not just to the good people that are in the world. When
Jesus was with us on earth, He was famous for something special: “This Man
receiveth sinners!” (Luke 15:2).
He still does. When the dear Holy Spirit (He loves you too, for He is a
Person!) convicts you of sin, it is because He loves you and wants you to
separate yourself from the sin, so you can be happy living forever in God’s
eternal kingdom.
True Bible forgiveness is far more than a mere nod of the head, a
superficial “pardon” so you can go and do it again and then come back again and
be pardoned again, on and on ad infinitum; that’s the widely prevalent view of
purgatory—a place where after you die you can be “purged” of your sins (that’s
what the word means!).
The purging of sin cannot take place after death; it must be while we are
still conscious and in charge of our soul’s destiny.
There is something precious that the Lord Jesus Christ has given (not
merely offered!) every human soul on earth—the gift of the power of choice.
This God has given to men “in Christ.”
You can say NO! to temptation—a big “NO!” in big black letters, the bigger
and blacker the better, and the bigger the exclamation point the better. Your
will power may be very weak; you may have abused it—but the power of choice the
dear Lord has still given you.
And when your choice is in harmony with the choice of Jesus Christ for you,
that is, the two of you are in agreement in that choice, all the devils in hell
will be helpless to move you, to change you, to defeat you; your own personal
will in harmony with the will of Christ—ah, there’s a powerful union that is
utterly impregnable in this world and in the universe of God.
Forever.
