In doing that, I also accept His free gift of eternal life, which is mine forevermore by Your grace. Thank You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Trust that God is big enough to save anyone—even you.

Why should He have to suffer on behalf of humanity? Nomoral imperative required God to sacrifice His Son. He would be no less holy or righteous if He allowed the race of sin-sick humans to suffer the just consequences of their own rebellion. Nothing compelled Jesus to complete the mission—nothing, that is, except love for the people He had made and obedience to His Father.

Jesus doesn't ask us blindly to believe; He invites us to believe Him. The ineffable, transcendent God became a material, flesh-and-blood human to give us all the evidence we need. And to claim that abundance, all we must do is trust Jesus—trust His words and trust the authenticity of His gift.

But have eternal life." We are destined to die physically and we exist in a kind of living death in the meantime. While nothing will halt the process of decay, and nothing will prevent the end of physical life, God's grace will not allow death to reign supreme. Evil will not have the final word. Life—eternal, incorruptible, abundant life—is offered to all who will receive it through faith.

What grace! Jesus reveals the true nature of God. He longs to see His creation saved from the just penalty of sin to thrive forever in His presence. Therefore, the Son of God came to earth to save all humanity from judgment. What hope!

There are two evil futurities and one good. A miserable future existence is evil; and annihilation, or nigban, is an evil - a fearful evil. A happy future existence is alone good.

And each of us has tried to be the Holy Spirit in another person's life, trying to work spiritual changes that only God can accomplish.

Gimme hate, Lord, he whimpered. I'll take hate any day. But don't give me love. I can't take no more love, Lord. I can't carry it. It's too heavy. Jesus, you know. You know all about it. Ain't it heavy? Jesus? Ain't love heavy? Don't you see, Lord? Your own son couldn't carry it. If it killed Him, what You think it's gonna do to me? Huh? Huh?

Before a single human being set foot on this planet, God had already flung the door wide open, issued an official invitation, and put the welcome mat out.

God must have loved the plain people: He made so many of them.

The strange thing about Christianity was that it adopted an entirely different method. It transformed the lives of men not by appealing to the human will, but by telling a story; not by exhortation, but by the narration of an event.
