self-imposed hell
Thursday May 7th, 1 John 4: 13We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his
Spirit. 14And we have
seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the
world. 15If anyone
acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 16And so we know and rely on the
love God has for us. Wow, if “anyone” acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God?????? For some that should strike up the feeling
that the Bible is way too inclusive. The
next thing you know, God will extend the time limit on that way beyond our
comfort level. What if heaven was not
complete until the likes of Adolf Hitler finally succumbed to the love of
God???? That would mean that God’s love
can also be for us. I believe people do
go to hell. I believe that God so loves
humanity that we are even granted that freedom, we are just not left
there. We are not left alone in our own
self-imposed hell in this world or in the next.
The seeking God of love will seek us out and love us until we turn,
tears in our eyes, and respond to that love.
