DOES GOD CARE?
1) What do Scriptures reveal concerning the character of God?
1 John 4:8 " He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. Psalms 25:8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way."
NOTE(JB) If you want to learn about God's Character, read Exodus 20:1- 17 the Ten Commandments! For it is within them that we find God's Character and His glory!
2) How was God's goodness expressed in Creation?
Genesis 1:31 "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
NOTE(JB) The Bible account does not speak of creation over eons of time, but in YOWM, Hebrew for a 24 hour day of time! Many think they are far too wise, to accept anything science can not prove! But then again the the Human Book of Science is still an open book, with many unknowns to us! Yet science accepts the Laws of Nature, but who recreated those laws? They MUST have been present before" Any creation act", or there's no order, anywhere
3) Though nature is tarnished by sin, what witness does it still bear to God's love?
Psalms 33:5 "He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD."
4) How does God feel toward mankind alienated from Him through sin?
Jeremiah 31:3 "The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee."
NOTE(JB) We are to regard Jesus as having loved each one personally!. He died for each one of us because of our sins, which He took upon Himself! Thus if we cling to our sins, we shall so seek His forgiveness and repent of your sins by turning toward HIM!
5) How is God's love supremely revealed?
1 John 4:9-10 "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation[ He took our place] for our sins."
Note: E.G. White--quoted by I.H. Evans in "The Way of Love Divine" pp. 13,14. "Tongue cannot utter it; pen cannot portray it. You may mediate upon it every day of your life; you may search the Scriptures diligently, in order to understand it; you may summon every power and capability that God has given you,, in the endeavor to comprehend the love and compassion of the heavenly Father; and yet there is an infinity beyond. You may study that love for ages; yet you can never fully comprehend the length and breadth, the depth and the height of the love God in giving His Son to die for the whole world. Eternity itself can never fully reveal it."
NOTE(JB) That passage and many of her writings did not come from her but came as Holy Spirit, guided her!
6) To how many is the message of the gospel extended?
Romans 10:12-13 " For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
7) How patiently does God wait for a response from man? [any man!]
2 Peter 3:9-10 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."
NOTE(JB) "..come as thief.."? Sorry but most of the Bionically unlearned, His SECOND COMING will catch then fully unprepared just as a thief that breaks into a home. What's the cost for this willing ignorance? "...shall be burned up" WHY? They clung to their sins and will be burned up with them! NOBODY will taste eternal death, unless they chose it, by their unbelief!
8). What does He promise to those who return to Him?
Hosea 14:4 " I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him." Jeremiah 3:14 "Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:" {God's Holy Mountain-- Heaven]
9) Into what intimate relationship with Himself does He admit them?
1 John 3:1 "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."
10) How generous is God in giving to His children?
Romans 8:32 " He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
11) May we count on His goodness at all times?
Isaiah 54:10 "For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee."
12) How does our Heavenly Father reveal His love in all the circumstances of our lives?
Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
NOT(JB) There has not ever been a person born, that God did not see to his or her birth! Each one has a spot in Heaven that only that ONE person can fill, and no other is able!
13) How comprehensive is His promise of help?
2 Corinthians 9:7-8 "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:"
14) Assured by such promises what are we urged to do?
Psalms 55:22-23 "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee."
NEXT: "Is God in Control"? A: Yes He limits Satan's power, or man would have extinct centuries ago!
