How God patiently and quietly practice love his enemy?
Preface: Biblical logic tells us God has to love his enemy!
1. Jesus said: You have heard that it was said: Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say unto you: Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you,… Matt.5:43-45
2. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.
So you must obey them and do everything they tell you.
But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. … Matt.23:1-4
3. Jesus said: Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!
You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces.
You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Matt.23:13
4. Therefore, God has to practice what he preached!
How does God practice love his enemy?
A. Job 1:6-12
1. Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD,
and Satan came also among them.
God allows his enemy came to present himself before him among his sons!
(So that Satan can have a chance to change himself!)
2. Job 1:7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence come thou?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said: From roaming and walking up and down in the world!
As we can see God is willing to talk to him too! And enquired about what he is doing!
As we also can see, Satan has time and energy to do lots of good for people!
3. Job 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job,
that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fear God, and eschew evil?
God show him a good example for him to live his life! Like Job, Satan can become a good servant!
4. Please read on then you will know Satan persisted to mess up himself and others!
B. Yes, make no mistake, God prepared a hell for him and his angels!
1. People like to say: How does this show that God is love and God love his enemy?
Yes, God is love. 1 John 4:8. For about 1500 years, preachers like to tell you, God’s love is unconditional!
2. If you have any sense in your head please listen to what I say!
First, let us be sure of this--> Then Jesus will say to those on his left: Depart from me, you who are cursed,
into the hell prepared for Satan and his angels. Matt.25:41
3. This is what I say--> God lay out in the open for Satan and his people to see every day all the time!
There is a heaven and a hell! And God keep telling them: Please do the things that get you to heaven!
But what does Satan and his people do all day long and all life long?
They persist in doing things that get them to hell!
They are determined not to do things that get them to heaven! Such as those motor cycle gangs in Sept.29!
4. Test your physical father on earth and make him eat his words.
But you must not test God to eat his words! God will not eat his words!
Please also know, God is faithful and just! God will do exactly what he said! 1 John 1:9
God cannot be mocked, a man will reap what he sows!! Heb.12:29, Gal.6:7 God will not eat his words!
I know! Out of a father’s love for his children! He lay out a candy and a cane in the open!
He tells his children, if you listen and behave, you can have the candy!
If you don’t listen and don’t behave, you will be caned!
The intention is not so that he get to cane his children! His intention is so that his children will behave!
C. When and why did God do these!?
1. In every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing.
They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. 2 Thes.2:10-12
2. The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men
who suppress the truth by their wickedness, Ro 1:19
since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities— his eternal power and divine nature--
have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasoning,
and their senseless heart was darkened. Romans 1:18-21
3. Sit down and think with your soul and spirit not just think with your flesh only!
Then you will know, actually it is not so easy to keep do things that get you to hell!
You have to persist in doing those things that will get you to hell for a long time! Yes, God love his enemies!
May the Lord bless you and keep you always! Preach this on October 20, 2013.
