Now while God is busy molding us into the image of His dear Son, it will certainly not feel like God loves us. The devil knows we have a tendency to want to "feel" God's love all the time. So when we are in God's wood shed, we are not going to "feel" God's love at all. When we are in our potter's hand, we are not going to feel swell either. Job was a very great man. The devil threw everything at him, but he stayed faithful to God. Job is our pattern to stay faithful to God who loves us. And how did He demonstrate that love? Jesus died for our sins. For God so very loved the world, that He gave us His only beloved Son for our sins, that whosoever trusts and adheres to Him, has eternal life and shell not perish.
Who is the one who adheres to Jesus? The one who is a filthy sinner and wants desperately to be changed and set free, so he adheres to Jesus. He yokes up with Jesus. He walks with Jesus. Daily in the Word, the Bible, daily praying, daily yielding. He knows he is too weak to make it on his own. He clings to Jesus. He knows that eternal life is in the Son.
Who are the ones who have token beliefs in Jesus and live their own lives, but don't walk with Jesus? Most "Christians". That is fatal because they actually think they are saved.
God is not mocked. If we disregard His great love, after His patience has run out, and after they ignore his Servants He has sent to them, He lets them go into sin and they die and go to hell.
The Lord says, Choose life; why will you die?
God can prove His great love for us and we disregard it to our own peril. If only people could wake up they would fly to Jesus. May God squeeze them to at least call on
God.
