Scriptures are from the KJV
Ephesians 3:14–19: “14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.”
One day it finally dawned on me that, despite the mixed messages that we hear all around us, God really loves us. He does not want to send us to hell. He is not looking for reasons to condemn us. Instead He is looking for the reason to accept us. He acts and feels and thinks much like a perfect human father would. God loves us, and if we accept His gift of love and grace in Jesus Christ, we will be with Him forever. Just give Him a chance. Accept the gift of Christ in faith and believe in the Lord for eternal salvation. Let the love of Christ be revealed to you. Realize and know that He loves you and wants you to be with Him forever. He has even given us the only way for this to occur — by sacrificing His beloved Son for us.
Ephesians 1:3–6: “3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.”
He chose us before the foundation of the world! That’s pretty amazing. This should inspire you to love God with all of your heart. This is the narrow road. You must know that God loves you and accepts you. It is revealed to you by God Himself. If you do not have that revelation, then ask God for it. He gives it to the sincere seeker. As profound and vigorous and complete was His hatred of sin, as seen in the Old Testament, equally profound is His grace and mercy toward us who have accepted the great gift of Jesus, His Son, sacrificed for us. God now accepts you as His own son or daughter. Live and love in that great revelation. It will change your life — as it changed mine. Night to day. Death to life. God really loves you. He has made the way. “Walk ye in it” (Isaiah 30:21).
