Amen! And this promise has no expiration date. It is a spiritual reality.
We are all part of the Father, which gives life to all things. Jesus died that we might be grafted in, through Himself arising IN us, which is Jesus Christ come in the flesh.

Blessings,
brian

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Thessalonians 1:8.

...but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. Romans 2:8.

For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances; 2 Corinthians 12:20.

...idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, Galatians 5:20.

in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. 2 Thessalonians 2:12.

However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods. Galatians 4:8.

For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 1 Corinthians 1:21.

So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world. Galatinas 4:3.

...remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. Ephesians 2:12.

This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 3:6.

And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise. Galatians 3:29.

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:24.

...and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. Ephesians 2:16.

Therefore do not be partakers with them; Ephesians 5:7.

Thank You Father for Your Word...Jesus.

God is not willing that any perish, sounds like a good plan.

To bad some say anything is possible with God but then think it is impossible that God will not let any perish.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

*******************************

The gospel of Jesus Christ, in it's simplicity and love, angers the religious.
They don't like it.
They don't want it broadcast.
They don't want it spoken.
As you can see, on this thread.
All of the "damnation" posts.
Elevating and glorifying sin, rather than the divine being who has already triumphed over it.

They do not want the glory to go to the Lord Jesus Christ.
They want it for themselves.


Wicked, perverse, and the spirit of religion.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

True. There is a wicked "religious spirit" that grabs those who refuse the grace and set themselves up as the "door keepers" to Salvation.

Google "the spirit of religion," it will yield any interested party a wealth of information.

Yes, God's love for mankind is part of the message. However, if mankind will not yield to His calling, then vengeance is the other part of the message. It's holiness or hell fire. We can't only preach the love part of the truth to appease man.

Romans 12:19 - ...for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Acts 5:29 - ...We ought to obey God rather than men.
