The Mercy of the Lord endures for just a few moments? Of course not… The Bible clearly says “forever”.. Joy comes in the morning! God will be “All in All”. Every single knee will bow and every single tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father. Yes the Lord may say “Depart from me, for I never “knew” you”, but is it for trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions…of years? How can he say he is patient, not willing that any any any perish, but that all all all all would come to repentance. It may take a while for the Spirit to draw each person to that place of repentance, but no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit. That is why God gets the glory when the day comes that every creature in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, etc. etc.. says “Blessing, and Glory, and Power belong to him who sits upon the throne and unto the Lamb.” As In Adam all all all all have died, so in Christ shall all all all all be made alive. Of course I added a few all’s in there so you get the meaning. Jesus is the Savior of just a part of the world….no, no, no, it says He is the Savior of the WORLD! Hope a few, if not all, can re-evaluate the scriptures and see that some in the past have twisted the Love of God into a hellish torturing evil doctrine inspired by demons. Jesus warned of False doctrine. It has crept into the church very early in time. The apostle Paul, who said he was the “Chief of sinners” was rescued by this great love.. That’s why we can all have hope that someday God will make “all things new”… not just some things… ALL THINGS! Amen! You better love everybody now… God may make them your next door neighbor in heaven.. Are you as patient as God? Or do you beat them over the head with your bible and tell them they are going to hell? What kind of a God do you represent? hmmm? Why didn’t God tell us or tell Adam and Eve in the garden that the wages of sin is eternal suffering? Do you know why? Because the wages that sin pays us is simply DEATH… the next part of that same verse says….BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE! Where is the emphasis? LIFE! Jesus said, “I have come that you might have life and that more abundantly! Why also did Jesus pay our sin debt by dying for us, not going to hell and suffering for eternity for us. How could he pay an equal payment? Because the payment was DEATH only.. He also said I have come, not to condemn the world, but that the WORLD through him might be saved. And whosoever believes on the Lord Jesus Christ shall shall shall be saved! not just might be, if and only if, he lives a good enough life, and helps enough little old ladies across the street, etc., etc….. but SHALL be saved. SHALL!.. No one is able to pluck them out of the Father’s hand… of all whom the Father has given into his hands for his keeping. And He will leave the 99 sheep in the fold and go looking for that one little lost sheep. Jesus said ” ..and I, if I be lifted up from the earth, SHALL draw ALL men unto myself.” ALL! Did you know that the God of this age (epoch/ time period) has blinded the minds of those who don’t yet believe.. Will you tell someone the real truth.. the real good news? The real “Gospel” ? There is hope for all.. Love (God) is patient.. Love (God ) is kind. Love is not jealous, does not seek its own, is not easily provoked, does not get puffed up, etc. Hopes all things, endures all things, believes all things, LOVE NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER FAILS! Do you think God’s plan to save the world will fail? NEVER! Love Wins!
