Yes, I said that. Because it’s true. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I’m not saying all of these people are redeemed. I’m saying that God forgave them, just as much as he has forgiven you. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Everyone has been extended the same forgiveness. Everyone has the opportunity for redemption. Everyone has been offered God’s hand. God loves everyone, and wants them to spend eternity with Him.
I don’t know what it means to love the sinner and hate the sin. I don’t know if anyone does, and if anyone actually practices it. But I think that we, as Christians, can do a better job of showing the world that Jesus loves them.
Remember, Jesus had to die for you too.

I agree with you about what our attitude should be to the world. We all have the potential to be the worst sinner, apart from God’s grace. We are only accepted in Him because of what He did. Our response should be compassion towards lost souls! One of my favorite verses is “But commends His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Thanks for posting!

This is so true! I was wondering if you’d be posting anything; it’s been a while
There is so much discrimination even among our little Christian groups! We need to remember that God loves everyone. He died to save everyone. Not just the “perfect Christians”. Who’s perfect? No one but Jesus. Thanks for posting

I came accross your post and I am verymuch encouraged. Christ’s love is a radical love. He told the pharisees that he came not to call the righteous, but to call sinners. I am ever greatful for that.
