Subject: Why does God love the world (us)? |
Bible Note: Hi Brother John OK, I think I see where you are coming from but let me personalize it. 1. God predestined the Fall 2. If I sin/fall, God has predestined for me to sin/fall 3. While I sin for evil reasons, God however predestined me to sin for His end purpose Maybe I’m simplifying it, but what I seek to do is get understand of biblical principles then apply them to myself. And you may be right. Maybe we won’t fully understanding it this side of heaven but 1 Cor 2:15-16 caught my attention one day and propels me to search out and seek knowledge and understanding of my Father’s heart. “But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]. For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart” Abba Father bless… Meredith |
