Title: God's Love and Christ's Judgment
Contents
God loves all things. Because he is the Father of all things. He made light and created darkness, he made peace and created tribulation. No one has ever seen God in the first place, but the only-begotten God who was in the bosom of the Father, He created all things through His only-begotten Son.
It is written, "All things were made through him, and nothing that was made was made without him." He testified, "He appointed the Son heir of all things, and through him all the worlds were made."
As it is written, when the Word is with God, the Word is God. But we saw that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth.
This word that was with God became the son of the world, the descendants of Abraham and David. As it is written, “As for this son, he was born of the line of David according to the flesh” as evidenced.
To deny that the Word became flesh is antichrist. It is written, “By this you know the Spirit of God, that every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is the Spirit of the Antichrist, which is coming.” You have heard that it is already in the world” (1 John 4:2-3).
Therefore, Christ Jesus is the Son of Man, the Son of Man. Regarding this, the Bible says, “For children are of flesh and blood, and he also belongs to flesh and blood in one way, that through death he who took over the power of death, who took away the devil, and all those who are in bondage through life because they fear death. to release them” (Hebrews 2:14).
The prophecy in which Christ himself testified that he was a man is recorded, "Therefore when he came into the world, he said, "Sacrifices and offerings have not been desired, God hath prepared for me; I said, “Lord, behold, I have come to do your will, as it is written about me in the scroll.” (Hebrews 10:5-7) “That one body” was the lineage of David, the Son of Man. child).
If he is not a man, there is no man's salvation. Regarding this, the Bible confirms, “There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5).
Because God the Father is the Father of all, He deserves to love all things. So He gave His only begotten Son to all things. As it is written, “God so loved the world,” and also, “He is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2), so Christ “ He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”
This is like giving sunlight and rain evenly to the fields of the wicked and the fields of the good. Therefore, God is love. Therefore, there is evidence that “God desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4).
But if there is only love and there is no justice, this is not the truth. If Abraham had given the inheritance to Ishmael, the son of Hagar, the servant girl, the house would have become the house of the servant, and he would not have been called God's friend.
Unless slavery and freedom are divided, there will be only chaos. Therefore, God entrusted all judgment to His Son to accomplish this. It is written, “The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son” (John 5:22), and “And he gave the authority to judge because of his kindness” (John 5:27). It is very natural to testify.
Without being part of flesh and blood, you cannot know the circumstances of blood and flesh, and you cannot judge the world. Therefore, he said, “Because of his mercy, he has given the authority to judge.” So love works in the Father, and justice works in the obedient Son who is loved.
God loves everyone, but Christ Jesus separates those who obey the gospel and those who don't. This is the judgment. As it is written, “Those who have done good will come out to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment” (John 5:29).
The gospel was given to obey, not to enjoy. All ten lepers were healed, but only one returned to Christ. Jesus said to him, “Rise and go, for your faith has saved you.” The Lord decomposes even now, saying, “Are they not all cleansed? Where are the nine?” Those nine are the “sons of disobedience” who do not obey the gospel, as He said, “What is bad is thrown away.” They will not see the Lord on that very day.
Therefore, the gospel belongs to everyone, but the faith that saves souls is not everyone's.
Therefore, in the world there are false sons who are of the world, and there are true sons who are not of the world. This is a gift from God that can be known only to those who have received revelation according to the will of the Son. As it is written, “The spiritual one judges all things, but he himself is judged by no one” (1 Corinthians 2:15).
Blessed is the man who knows the everlasting gospel, sweet as honey in his mouth but bitter in his stomach.
Thank you Lord.
