Why do you love Jesus ?

Wonder how many of us are sitting here thinking we could write a book about this :)

I love Him because He loved me first! In my wretchedness, in all my faults He loved me before. He is everything I wish to be. Everything higher I could ever hope to become. He is my rock, giving peace,hope and comfort in a world that gives none. He shows me what grace and love really is every single day. He is faithful in moments when it is hard to lean. He brings magnificence in my life, taking those moments and searching out the gifts He sometimes hides. He takes my worries away and in there place gives me peace.....

Psalm 100
1 Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!

2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.

3 Know that the Lord, He is God;It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,And into His courts with praise.Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

5 For the Lord is good;His mercy is everlasting,And His truth endures to all generations.

Have to disagree with you there:

1 PETER 3
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer
to every man that asketh you a reason
of the hope that is in you
with meekness and fear:



The great commission COMMANDS every Christian
to PROCLAIM the Gospel to all the world.

If you are a Christian and you aren't telling every soul
you meet of the Salvation available to them through
the Blood of Christ,
you are NOT fulfilling your DUTY as a Christian.

The insight I got from Dostoevsky was that the worse torments are always reserved for the soul, not the body.

I understand wanting to receive justice in this life.
Work towards that goal, always recognizing that those who harm don't escape. We just don't know their final destination right now. Even how they will end up in this life, before they meet the Maker.

I can see what they are up to, with their organ transplants, life extension, and transhumanism. It won't help them.

There was a time in my childhood when I walked with God,He was my only comfort in a chaotic world. Funny when you are a child it is easy to believe. I was different from my siblings and generally ousted by my family members. I did not understand I was different,because what reference point did I have? I assumed others thought and had experiences similar to mine. As I entered my teens I had become jaded against the world and walked with my back against God. I even chose an atheist as a mate. Even though the next 20 years I tried to deny,I still knew. God was faithful during my rebellion and protected me until it was the time he appointed. Long story short, God has loved me even during the times I did not love myself. He is the light inside me. He gives me strength that I take comfort in. I am still different,the world still rejects me,But Christ accepts me. I have no special purpose but my relationship.

I don't disagree with you: there's no point to debate with the those that are interested in mockind and denying the "reason of the hope that is in you". Such a debate is foolish.

That is not true, the atonement was done for everyone even the fallens angels and spirits in Hell and those of mankind whom went to hell and those in this time going to Hell. Understand that many first will choose evils as it was from beginning because of the deception of Antichrist they will commit great sins and lose faith. But even they whom spend time in lake of fire can be released and saved thanks to atonement. Mankind has no comprehension about what atonement truly involved you speak only of the beginning of it the Crucifixion, you dont know what occured after that when people are shown the full story it brings everyone to tears and their knees in gratitude even those whom suffer alot in coming years and those whom get taken down into Hell, when they see the big picture those whom repented will all be gratiful. The Son of Man descended below them all, suffering more than any ever will so that people could be rescued from HELL in time, this doesn't mean many wont go to Hell first getting to Heaven is extremely difficult and even those of prophets are not in Heaven but waiting in Abraham bosom.

Ye are correct about bearing your cross not many will many will to stop the pain of tortures to occur to them when Antichrist comes, they will forsake their faith in Christ and become overtaken and evil when do so in abomination of desolation.

“Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces.” -Matthew 7:6

If you google "pearls before swine" this is the first thing that shows up:

Antichrist is Joker, it makes a mockery of everything that's sacred. But the actor that playd Joker had a nasty death and the actor that played Superman had a nasty accident, check it out!

Hallelujah! Same for me exactly!
May The Lord use us for his Great Work. His will, not ours.
Peace be with you.

While I have all of you great Brothers and Sisters in The Lord here- may I ask you all to say a prayer for my dad and my family. He is dying and suffering. I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you in advance. I know you will all respond.


Thank you O.P - sorry to get off topic.

Horrible deaths are part of living on this fallen earth . You can thank the dark side and not blame Jesus .
You leave me sad that you reject so great a love .

God the father, responsible for all. Buck stops with the creator. Millions killed in the name of religious stupidity, and God hasn't lifted a hand. Demiurge is a destroyed, not a father figure. You ask me to believe in a God that is outlined in the OT and NT, then I want a shot at him too. So much blood to answer for, and those white robes of your God are just dripping.

:cool39:

Our God is an awesome God!

I love Jesus because he died for my sins.

Amen isn't he glorious. He let us bring a slice of Heaven down to GLP.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them."

Christ is here among us so let us draw near in praise and worship to Him. How blessed I am to even say this.

He is the only hope for honest people. Plus, he is gonna kill the souls of all those not so honest people.

What do I love most about Jesus?

His word is true.
