"God's love is so extravagant and so inexplicable that he loved us before we were us." Judah Smith
(1 Corinthians 13:4-7. NLT.)
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God.
(Isaiah 59:2-16. NLT.)
And even when because it's your sins that have cut you off from God. And because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore, and that your hands are hands of murderers, and your fingers are filthy with sin. Your lips are full of lies, and your mouth spew corruption. No one cares about being fair and honest. The people's lawsuits are based on lies. They conceive evil deeds and then give birth to sin. They hatch deadly snakes and weave spider's webs. Whoever falls into their webs will die, and there's danger even in getting near them. Their webs can't be made into clothing, and nothing they do is productive. All their activities is filled with sin, and violence is their trademark. Their feet run to do evil, and they rush to commit murder. They think only about sinning. Misery and destruction always follow them. They don't know where to find peace or what it means to be just and good. They have mapped out crooked roads, and no one who follows them knows a moment's peace. So there is no justice among us, and we know nothing about right living. We grope like the blind along a wall, feeling our way like people without eyes. Even at brightest noontime, we stumble as though it were dark. Among the living, we are like the dead. We growl like hungry bears; we moan like mournful doves. We look for justice, but it never comes. We look for rescue, but it is far away from us. For our sins are piled up before God and testify against us. Yes, we know what sinners we are. We know we have rebelled and have denied the LORD. We have turned our backs on our God. We know how unfair and oppressed we have been, carefully planning our deceitful lies. Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found. Truth stumbles in the streets, and honest has been outlawed. Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who renounces evil is attacked.
The LORD looked and was displeased to find there was no justice. He was amazed to see that no one intervened to help the oppressed. So he himself stepped in to save them.
(John 3:16. NIV.)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whover believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
(Ezekiel 33:11. NLT.)
As surely as I live, says the Soverein LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wickedness, O people of Israel why should you die?
