GOD Is Not Diminished!

GOD cannot be diminished by anything!

There are many who question how can a Loving GOD allow or actually condemn people; who He created in His own image; to go to hell and be tormented forever? All of the theological answers have been given: GOD is just and righteous. Every person who has never heard of JESUS will be judged according to how they lived their life. GOD is HOLY and only those who are Holy can be in His presence; this is the one that is suspect; most Christians do not work at being Holy because they do not understand working out their salvation with fear and trembling; which is not a requirement of salvation, it is the process of yielding our life to GOD’s HOLY SPIRIT who now lives in us and being transformed into the image of CHRIST (study Philippians and Colossians).

GOD Loves every person who has ever been conceived and who will be conceived! At the moment of conception He makes every person a living spirit and gives them a gift and call for the work of His Eternal Kingdom. But because of Eve’s deception and Adam’s disobedience we are also born with a sin nature that rules in our life from birth. Most people will reject JESUS CHRIST or just live according to their own fleshly desires with no care for others.

GOD knew this was going to happen so that before creation, before He laid the foundation of the earth He ordained that JESUS CHRIST would become Salvation for all of humanity and that those who reject that salvation would condemn themselves to eternal damnation with the devil (study Matthew 25; John 1 & 3 and Romans 1).

GOD takes no joy in the eternal damnation of people who reject Him and His Salvation. GOD does not suffer as we do when we are rejected, attacked or hurt; unlike us who can lose ourself in our grief, hurt and anger GOD is not overwhelmed by these emotions. Our lives can be diminished by those who purposely or even unknowingly hurt or reject us; we can become withdrawn, angry at everybody, rejecting of social norms, even violent and self-destructive.

But, GOD in His anger at those who attack Him and His Will, hurt by those who deny Him and His sovereignty, frustrated by those who hear and refuse to believe and except the Truth is not overwhelmed by these things. He knew before He made humanity in His image that we would be this way, that more would reject Him then serve Him. That is why JESUS taught that we who believe in Him would be persecuted, even to death, that there is a easy way to live life that leads to destruction and a hard way to live life that leads to eternal life (study Matthew 5, 6 & 7).

Because GOD is not diminished by our hatred and disobedience His mercy is new every morning for every person on the earth, His rain falls on the just and the unjust, His sun shines on the evil and the good and all good gifts come from GOD who is above.

So love your neighbor as you love yourself, do good to those who mistreat you, pray for those who hate you, be GOD’s light and salt in the earth to show the lost that JESUS is the only way to Salvation. Salvation is not a plan it is a person and we are ambassadors of His Eternal Kingdom!
