The Love Of God
Guest Sun 02 Dec 2007, 10:54 pm
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting
life. For God, did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world
but that the world through Him might be saved. {John 3:16-17 }
The love of God is not the way you and me love. His love is far beyond
our realm, we just cannot grasp all of it, but only what he gave us in
His Word. Yahweh stepped down from heaven, not only to die for us; but
also, so that we cannot say to him-- God is up there, and we are down
here, so how would He know how we human beings feel. We suffer
sickness, disappointments, we go hungry, thirsty, our love ones die,
and we suffer the loss. We feel deeply lonely, at one time or the
other. We hurt when someone we love betrays us. We suffer shame at
times. We also get tire, worry and cry. Well guess what! (Jesus Yeshua)
has gone through all this and more. This is what the Bible has to say
about Him. Isaiah 3:3-5 We have despised him and rejected
him--a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our
backs on him and looked the other way when he went by, we didn't
care. Yet it was our grief he bore, our sorrows that weighed him down.
And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, for his own
sins! But he was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that
we might have peace; he was bruised —and by His lashes we were healed Romans 8:35-39
{ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are
accounted as sheep for the slaughter.'' Yet in all these things we are
more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am
persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities
nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor
depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.} Yes God loves the
homosexual the prostitute the thief the adulterer and the sinner but!
If they do not repent of their sins God will love them all the way to
hell not. Lets put it in modern terms, God cannot lie, so He loves you, he
created you for his pleasure but you don’t want Him to rule over you,--
you want to be your own boss. So He is patient with you but? God’s
patients could run out like He did with the Israelites psalms 2:11-12
{Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son,
lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled
but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.}again Psalms 7:11-16 {
God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked everyday. If he
the bacslider, or the wicked does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and
makes it ready. He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He
makes His arrows into fiery shafts. Behold, the wicked travails with
iniquity, Conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood. He made a pit
and dug it out, and has fallen into the ditch which he made. His
trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall
come down on his own crown.} John 15:9 { "As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.} Aservant of the lord-Yeshua Anastasia Martone

Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted. He is able to help those who are being tempted(Hebrews 2:18)
Wonderful article and I loved going through it. As I read articles on this site, my faith and zeal is touched, I feel like going out in the street and sream with all my power and tell them to repent from their sins and come back to God.
God bless all

This is the aricle we all need to read and thank you for posting it here. It was simply wonderful to go through the details of the article.
Many people believe that God's Laws condemn us so what is the use to follow them. God never condemns us, He condemns our actions. His Laws show His great love for us. Through these Laws we are made pure and it is written that only pure heart will see the face of God. He loves us and wants to live among us but we are so foolish that we do not follow the commandments of God calling them cruel.
I went to doctor with my cousin for certain reason. The doctor told him not to do this, not to do that, exercise regularly and eat healthy food. The doctor never condemned him, he was trying to help him to save his life.
Our governments love us and that is why they have put up laws so that a human life is not wasted. There are strict laws for murder, rape, addiction and other various laws. These all laws are reflection of Biblical laws yet people don't want to follow them but would always follow laws laid down by men.
Similarly God loves us that He laid down some rules for us, so that, we may not die but live. I hope people do understand the great and good love of Almighty.
God bless you

Great article Anastasia and I enjoyed going through it. I will not say that I disagree but I see it in a different way.
This means that God does not know how we suffer? I think as far as my knowledge of Bible goes, God does feel our emotions and He certainly knows how we feel. He made us in His own image and likeness and He is our creator. Therefore, He knows everything and no one can say that He lives in heavens so He does not know our pain and sufferings.
God bless you
His Word. Yahweh stepped down from heaven, not only to die for us; but
also, so that we cannot say to him-- God is up there, and we are down
here, so how would He know how we human beings feel.

knows how we feel it is the people saying that God does not know how we feel, so
God to make us understand, step dawn and proved to us that he does know how we
feel. May Yahweh Bless and keep you, and thanks for liking my
letter just a little misunderstanding that is all. Anastasia

Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) wrote powerfully about the need for an intimate relationship with Almighty God, including this: “He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.”
