Satan would have us believe God is selfish. [Spirituality & Religion]
Jesus's character is that He is perfect. He is without sin. That is why He was perfectly qualified to die for our sins, forgive them, forget them, and provide eternal life in Heaven for us.
How we love and adore all those who sacrificed their lives and service in the military, every branch. God bless every one of you. As loving and great as that was, Jesus went even beyond that, as we shall never comprehend nor even fathom what His death and suffering entailed, this side of heaven. As He hung suspended between heaven and earth, something more glorious than any have ever seen, felt, or experienced, took place, as He took on the sins of the entire world. Only Jesus could do that. Only Jesus has access for us as Mediator, to our Father in Heaven. Only Jesus can provide us the true miracle of what His grace actually means.
We don't think like God. Nor can we figure everything out about Him with our limited understanding. That's why this all-powerful, omnipresent, omniscient God told us not to lean on our own feeble understanding, when it comes to Him, nor to judge Him. Who are WE to judge such a magnificent, perfect God?
Who is He? God is love. God’s love is so great that He gave His only Son to bring us into fellowship with Him. God’s love not only encompasses the world, but embraces each of us personally and intimately.
—1 John 4:7-10
God is Jehovah-jireh. This name means “the God who provides.” Just as He provided yesterday, He will also provide today and tomorrow. He grants deliverance from sin, joy for the ashes of sorrow, and eternal citizenship in His Kingdom for all those adopted into His household. He is not willing that any die without having forgiveness of our sins, that separate us from God the Father. He accepts anyone, no matter who you are, or what you've done, who come asking for forgiveness. I'd say those alone, MORE THAN QUALIFY Him to deserve our worship and praise. That means no one has to miss heaven. Without Him, we would ALL end up in Hell.
No man in history suffered so horribly and so unmercifully because of our sins, just so we could have eternal life in heaven. He not only said He loves us... He proved it! And He still called us His FRIEND. Could you?
"Greater love hath NO MAN, than He that layed down His life for His friends. John 15:13
@TakingBackMidgard Sin exists alright. That is quite obvious from all the crimes out there. If sin didn't exist, we wouldn't need a police force or the military.
