YES! JESUS LOVES YOU!!!
The Bible says so!!!
(John 3:16)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
(Jeremiah 29:11)
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
(1 John 4:8-12)
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
(Romans 5:8)
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
(John 15:12)
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
But then again... you hear these verses all the time in most Christian churches today in this politically correct world who are oh-so-worried about offending people so they preach a half gospel.
They would either not talk about Hell at all or gloss over it... or tell you that only really really psycho bad bad evil people go there... and be like "don't worry you'd never go there cuz you're a good person"...
You can go in there and you're gonna see super-nice guys and gals who are ready to love bomb you and tell you all day about how God loves you as if God is like a care bear with rainbows shooting out of his chest.
But what they won't tell you though...
Is how you have to do YOUR part...
Because if you love God, you will keep His commandments (John 14:15) (John 15:10) (1 John 5:3) (2 John 1:6)
Yes.
You can't get to heaven without doing anything!!!
You must repent of your sins... (Acts 3:19) (Luke 3:8-9) (Romans 2:5) (Luke 13:3)
You must deny yourself... pick up your cross... and follow Jesus... (Luke 9:23) (Matthew 16:24) (Mark 8:34)
That is how to get to heaven, friends...
Because if you do not keep God's commandments and you are unrepentant in your sins...
Jesus will say to you "I never knew you... depart from me..." (Matthew 7:21-23)
and you will be cast into the outer darkness... where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth... (Matthew 22:13)
You will be going to Hell, friend...
If you continue in your wicked ways and refuse to turn from sin.
Not because God is so mean like many an atheist has told me...
Its because you put yourself there.
By the way you live your life you are determining where you will be spending eternity.
Its works like this...
Lets say you love this man or woman... and he or she is constantly rejecting your advances and has made it clear that he or she is not interested...
After you have tried it all to get their attention...
After you have shed tears of sorrow... and feel so bad that this man or woman doesn't seem to care about you at all and he or she is just constantly ignoring you no matter what you do...
Even if you buy her expensive gifts and shower her with all the attention and be constantly "yes ma'am" to her... she still rejects you!!!
Even if you try to make yourself look as beautiful as you possibly can around him and try your hardest to please him with your cooking or your perfume or offering sexual favors and be constantly "Yes sir"... he still rejects you!!!
What will you do then sir / madam?
If you're a sane reasonable person... you would just let this man or woman go... and be with someone else...
Same thing with God.
God is no psychopath who would chain you down and force you into His kingdom.
He will keep calling you...
But will you answer his call?
Its like He's texting you and messaging you on facebook and phoning you telling you how much He loves you...
But since you keep ignoring His calls, texts, and private messages...
He would have to let you go...
In great sorrow...
(2 Peter 3:9)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
(Eze 33:11)
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
So the choice is yours friend...
Will you keep on rejecting God and choosing the Devil?
The devil would come to you like this dashing handsome man... or this really beautiful seductive woman...
But in the end, the devil will break your heart. The devil feed off your torment... like a psycho who would chain you in the basement and repeatedly torture you and get off on it...
God offers you Eternal Life and everlasting joy with Him in heaven...
The Devil offers you nothing but pain and suffering and torment...
Now choose!
