God is love and He does not want any soul to perish. That’s why He sent His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to die for us. His love towards sinners is to enable Him make them accept the free gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ. God is angry with they sinner every day but His anger is not hatred. He does not hate them and as a result wants them to die and be punished, rather He goes to them in their filth and pleads with them to repent; this is love. If they refuse to repent God’s justice will bring condemnation upon them for rejecting His love. God is love but when men reject His love they face His other side: the Consuming Fire.
“Thus Saith the LORD” is a very powerful expression. It has authority because it quotes God. We know that God does not lie. Everything He says is authentic and reliable. Unfortunately, we see people giving messages supposedly from God but what they say is against the written Word of God. God does not contradict Himself “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” (1Cor. 14:33). There are many lying spirits in the world therefore we must test every spirit if they are of God. No private prophecy, vision, dream or revelation is above the Scriptures. The Holy Bible is our final authority. Whatsoever revelation that does not agree with the Bible should be discarded.
Jesus Christ’s heart yearns for the salvation of those who are lost. During His earthly ministry He showed a very strong passion for the need of sinners to be saved to the extent that He was accused of eating and drinking with sinners.
Many Christians are struggling with their spiritual life because they laid blocks on their old foundation, which they would have broken down at the point of accepting the Christian faith, in order to lay a new one in Christ. This message is a call to true repentance and consecration to God.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” (1Pe 5:8-9 KJV)
