Subject: Do God love everyone or not? |
Bible Note: yura, i encourage you to read psalm 1, 2, and 51. the reason being that they give a more complete view of how God views and deals with humanity. also, the reference to 2 corinthians 5:19 would be better understood in light of verses 14 and 15. verse 15 implies that "all He died for" live for Christ. the intimate love of God is experienced only when a person is in Christ. that is why the letters in the new testament talking about His intimate specific love are written to the "churches" and not to the world at large. |
