“And what shall we say of the man Christ Jesus? Who, that loves his brother, would not, upheld by the love of Christ, and with a dim hope that in the far-off time there might be some help for him, arise from the company of the blessed, and walk down into the dismal regions of despair, to sit with the last, the only unredeemed, the Judas of his race, and be himself more blessed in the pains of hell, than in the glories of heaven?

Who, in the midst of the golden harps and the white wings, knowing that one of his kind, one miserable brother in the old-world-time when men were taught to love their neighbor as themselves, was howling unheeded far below in the vaults of the creation, who, I say, would not feel that he must arise, that he had no choice, that, awful as it was, he must gird his loins, and go down into the smoke and the darkness and the fire, traveling the weary and fearful road into the far country to find his brother? – who, I mean, that had the mind of Christ, that had the love of the Father?” –George MacDonald

How many ways can we declare it?

El amor de Dios nunca falla

Guds kärlek misslyckas aldrig

Gottes Liebe versagt nie

Jumalan rakkaus ei koskaan onnistu

"God will be angry with the wicked for eternity." Nonsense!

His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life. —Psalm 30:5

God's holy wrath upon our sin
Does not eternal love deny;
It quickly fades as grace prevails
Because He sent His Son to die.

Gods hatred of sin does not diminish His love for the sinner. EVER.


The steadfast love of the Lord NEVER ceases.

Never

Not ever.

At no time.

Not in any degree.

Not under any condition.

Ceases

To come to an end.

To no longer continue.

To cease to exist/ come to an end.

Declare God's Truth. There is judgement. Jesus Himself warned about this judgement, and to turn to HIM and repent before it is too late.

We are to do the same.

THAT is love.

It is written that THIS is love, that God gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him, accepting His grace, and repenting, will escape God's judgement.

THAT is love.

Leaving so many blindly going on to their own demise for all eternity is NOT love.

Praying.

Let it rain.

Do you really think that God will leave any to stumble on blindly for all eternity? Please read Psalm 136.

Those who rejected Jesus Christ, and remain unrepentant, will be in the lake of fire, for all of eternity.

Tragic.

OK, read First Corinthians 3:15. Wait, let me make it real easy:

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. -KJV

This applies to those who are saved, who have repented, and thus accepted God's mercy and grace.

That's obviously speaking of men who don't do many good works here on Earth, but who have accepted Christ.

Really?

Deut. 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

Deut. 9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

It is not just the wicked that will be dwelling in the devouring fire:

Isa 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

Isa 33:15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil.

Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; We will be able to stand in the presence of a Holy God and not be destroyed:

Dan 3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Does the One who is love have an expiration date, or a limit, on the extent His love can be expressed?

Good news, Jesus Christ draws ALL mankind unto Himself.

Do you know that the God of unspeakable glory specializes in ashes. He kills and He makes alive.

Furthermore>>>>

"We all must die and are like water spilled on the ground that cannot be gathered up again, but the Lord does not take away life, instead He devises ways for the banished to be restored."

Do we really think for a mere second the Glorious One of unlimited has the slightest problem with dust and ashes?

Not that it matters much, but I just want to say, that should be “Jumalan rakkaus ei koskaan epäonnistu”. ("Ei koskaan" = "never". “Epäonnistu” = “fail”). :)

Dear 1213: It is an amazing fact of indescribable dimensions: the love of the Lord NEVER ceases, it is steadfast & new every morning, great is His faithfulness!

Dear 1213: It is an incredible fact the love of God never ceases. It is steadfast, it is abundantly beyond all we can think!

Isaiah 59:15 tells us, "Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) stands far off; for truth has fallen in the street (the city's forum), and uprightness cannot enter [the courts of justice]. Yes, truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.

Deuteronomy 32:18
You ignored the Rock who brought you forth; you forgot the God who gave you birth.
===============================
The Song of Moses

(Judges 5:1-31)

1Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

2My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

3Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.


4He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.


5They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.

6Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

7Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.

8When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

9For the LORD'S portion is his people;"
