To love the Lord because He loved us first.

First thought that came up.
I'm pretty sure those burning in Hell TRILLIONS of years would disagree with you. But they will be gone and forgotten. And nobody will care.

How 100% true is that.

He sure did LOVE us first, in our hearts/ spirit, to know and understand that...imo is “ mind blowing “...

How can he Love someone like me, who has let him down so many times.

It’s called imo, unconditional Love...there is NONE on the planet who has the patience of God/ Jesus....he’s behind us every step of the way...he’s a Loving God...he’s also a disciplining God....who know “ exactly “ how to discipline his children.

All Glory goes to God/ Jesus....he never stops working in our hearts, maturing us and bearing his fruit through us....oh to know more of the “ Heart” Of God....In Jesus Name....Amen!

Some are here to demonstrate exactly how unlovable we really are. - LOL

[
I think some are here to demonstrate how real hell is, that’s their calling....it’s certainly not mine...I believe God calls us all very differently to be used by him, getting his message across to others.

I think everyone plays a part in that...just my thoughts..opinion.

That’s a scary thought...Jack....hell to me was, when I was alienated from God as a non believer......of course I didn’t realise it at the time...not until after I became Born Again....

It is the calling of Christians. The MAIN calling!

Jude 1:22-23
22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction;
23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,

MAIN calling?....don’t understand that....I understand Born Again...only then can I Glorify God, as he Indwells my spirit.

It’s all about God....there is not an ounce of knowledge in me...all my spirit knowledge comes from the Spirit, I am nothing without his Spirit..just an empty shell...no life.

Only God can save those from eternal damnation....we can’t.my opinion..

If one isn’t Born Again ...like me at one time...I wouldn’t know or didn’t know what hell was, like I’ve just explained...speaking for myself here.

I know as a non believer I had a terrible fear of death....not anymore though, as I know exactly where I’m going once my old body of sin dies.....my spirit will go straight back to God....then later I will have a glorified body just like Jesus....exciting times ahead.....a new “ spirit “ life...no more pain or suffering..my thoughts.

Those who die unsaved will quickly learn what Hell is.

Those who die who aren’t Born Again....I’m not sure what happens to them...

People have different opinions on hell and who goes there....I explained what hell meant to me.

We know nothing on who goes into eternal damnation after death....

God wants none to perish.....only he truly knows what will happen to those on their death bed.....

Seriously??? Jesus clearly explained.

"They will be TORMENTED day and night FOREVER!
I pray that none will be tormented day and night forever.....a part of me doesn’t believe that....yet another part does..

Only God can see the heart of a person...I don’t get any pleasure what so ever....posting that some people will burn in Hell forever and be permanently alienated from the Spirit of God...

It fills me with despair....

""Life with God outside the bible is great!""

You think Hell is great?
We aren’t in hell outside of the Bible.

Our spirit is in Love with the Spirit Of God...like @ProDeo explained to you.

God loved us first in our hearts/ spirit...can you explain how the Bible can do that?

We are to seek God out from within our heart, that is where we get to know him....we are called to seek the Lord God out with all of our “ heart” ,” mind” and “ soul”...

I always refer to the Bible, when I believe the Spirit is speaking to my heart....

Does the Bible love the lonely out there in the world, those who don’t read or own a Bible.

No it doesn’t....we show the Love Of God to others through our heart/ spirit.....as that is where the fruit of the Spirit is in our spirit..the Spirit indwells/ lives in our spirit........God is at work in our hearts, softening them, to bear Jesus fruit.....as there is no fruit in us....

All Glory to God/ Jesus.

Jesus said it. One 2 question also admitted it, gasp!

That's why Jesus said to pull them from the fire!

That's true.

Are you afraid you (perhaps) don't belong to the elect and that (maybe) you will burn forever?
Anyone who believes the Bible is afraid! Those who aren't are heading for the FIRE!
