An acquaintance relayed to me that he had been in the hospital for 10 hours due to an infection. \u00a0He said that, during his stay, several religious people had told him that he was going to hell. \u00a0He laughed, saying “Their god must only love some people if he’s sending others to hell.”<\/p>\n
I urged him, and urge you now, to consider this: If man has by his own actions condemned himself, and God provides a way for man to be redeemed, which man then rejects, how can it be reasoned that God has not demonstrated love?<\/p>\n
What is your relationship to God? \u00a0Are you certain that you are in good stead with Him? \u00a0If not, what could be more important than searching for the answer to that question? \u00a0If you believe God is real, all-powerful and all-knowing, pray with a pure heart, asking Him to show you the truth. \u00a0If He truly loves you, He will show you the way.<\/p>\n
Matthew 7:7-8\u00a0“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. \u00a0For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
