Jesus loves everyone from the day they are born but still some people don't cherish that and have hate in their hearts. Why???? This does not reflect a thin line between love and hate, but the fact that even though God and Christ love sinners, all those who are not in Christ are at enmity with God. It is only through the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit that men and women repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Then love for God and Christ follows.

I stand corrected. Thank you for sharing that. Blessings RustyAngeL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to Worthy,,,,,,,,,glad you are here! Praise Jesus! Quote This seems to be yet another thread not conforming to the purpose of the seekers lounge, that of preaching the gospel, answering questions in a way, that would answer a person's need to know about Jesus, and all the implications of that. Because of non-conformity with the purposes of ministering to SEEKERS, this thread may be temporary, subject to deletion or moving to another area. posted by Omegaman Because you have posted in the Seekers Lounge,may I ask? Are you a Christian or a "Seeker"? In consideration of your OP I do think Ezra gave the most appropriate answer Quote his does not reflect a thin line between love and hate, but the fact that even though God and Christ love sinners, all those who are not in Christ are at enmity with God. It is only through the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit that men and women repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Then love for God and Christ follows. posted by Ezra Before submitting to Christ we are carnal,of flesh,,,,,,,,,,,our hearts & minds(& spirit) are not yet indwelled by the Holy Spirit,,,,,,,,we are at enmity with God Even after Jesus abides in us we may still not fully "forsake" the heart,mind,flesh & hinder the Love that flows by the Power of the Holy Spirit,,,,,,,only by full commitment,surrender,submission to Christ can we walk in Spirit & in Truth,,,,,,,,,,, To God be the Glory With love-in Christ,Kwik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the title question, no, the line not thin, it is a wide gulf! One looks nothing like the other. Jesus loves people, from way before their birth, from before the foundation of the world. My question to you is, what are you personally, doing in response to His love for you? Very good question Omega for all of us. We can say we love Jesus but what are we doing to prove that love? Yes very good question for all of us indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 And Pray Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalms 139:23-24 And Walk In The Way For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17 Or Not Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

Is equal and opposite to the distinction and extent of the other. Absent of either, neither are perceivable. Which reminds me of something i read in Genesis.
