The love of God: A Jewish Poem
If God created unlimited space, He can give unlimited grace.
Invitation without Judgement: Matt 23:1-5, 23 Pharisees limit of performance and favor.
Grace is giving people what they haven't earned. (Les Miserables..)
God of unconditional love: Jn 3: 16-18, 20 God loves the World
1. No one is excluded. 2. Jesus came to save the world, not judge it.
3. People are not judged by God according to their deeds, but on acceptance of Jesus OR NOT (vs18).
What about them: Can a person be saved and lose their temper; ... saved and is still greedy;..... saved and lusts after someone; .....saved and still steals; .....saved and has a prostitute; .......saved and uses pornography; ....... saved and commits adultery; .....saved and has a same sex partner. The standard is for you to accept Jesus. Heaven is full of sons and daughters of God, with sins forgiven.
But: We judge ourselves when we judge others : Matt 7.1, Col 3: 13
We need to be open to the Holy Spirit's work.
