If you talk to some church leaders they will ask you: did he know The Lord? Has he accepted Jesus in his heart? If not then no!, hang on a minute we talk about a loving God who knows us so well he keeps a tally chart of how many hairs we have on our head, so if God is that interested in us do you think he is just going say "oops there's another one lost to the worlds way" doesn't sound right dose it, so where am i going here? Well I was reading the word and praying in my heart (yes I do that) and I read in scripture (john I think) and haven't read any where about God sending peopls souls anywhere other than heaven because they don't know him (it would be like a reverend /pastor refusing to bury the dead because he hadn't attended his church) so back to my reading scripture I was reading some where in john and I felt The Lord say "it's not the fact that people don't know me that stops them being accepted into heaven, it's the fact that they don't WANT to know me"
Wow now that is more like a loving God who spends time counting the hairs on my head.
Definitely sounds like it's from the Lord. It's so true, God isn't likely to let an accident of chance stop his plans to save people.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, it's deeply sad that there are people in this world who don't WANT to know God. It must break his heart, and probably should break ours more and motivate us to love others better.
Thanks for sharing Mark!
