What does your BIBLE say&nbsp;&ndash; the very words GOD HIMSELF inspired to be written for you? You&rsquo;ll find that it says that God does NOT love all men Equally! He, Himself said so!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"00Psalms115\">Psalms 11:5<\/span><\/strong> <em>The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence <strong>his soul HATETH<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, the Lord HATES the wicked! He does NOT LOVE HIM the same as a <em>RIGHTEOUS<\/em> man!<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"001nbspPeter312\">1&nbsp;Peter 3:12<\/span><\/strong> <em>For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He LOVES and HEARS the righteous&nbsp;&ndash; and HATES the wicked! Consider Daniel &ndash; Why was <em><strong>he<\/strong><\/em> LOVED by God?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"00Daniel923\">Daniel 9:23<\/span><\/strong> (The Angel Gabriel speaking)&#8230; <em>I am come to shew thee; for <strong>thou art greatly beloved<\/strong>: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Now read the REASON God loved HIM, HEARD his prayer, and ANSWERED IT!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"00Ezekiel142021\">Ezekiel 14:20-21<\/span><\/strong> <em>Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: <strong>Though Noah, Daniel, and Job<\/strong>, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but <strong>deliver their own souls BY THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Righteousness of these three men was what God said would DELIVER them! It was the <em>RIGHTEOUSNESS<\/em>, literally the Right-doing of these men, the obeying of the commands of God, or to put it succinctly the <strong>WORKS<\/strong> of Daniel that made God LOVE HIM!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"10Psalms1468\">Psalms 146:8<\/span><\/strong> <em>&#8230; the LORD loveth the righteous!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But, they say, that was all Old Testament stuff&nbsp;&ndash; That doesn&rsquo;t apply to us today&nbsp;&ndash; Jesus changed all that!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"00Acts103435\">Acts 10:34-35<\/span><\/strong> <em>Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that FEARETH him, and <strong>WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS<\/strong>, is accepted with him.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Apostle Peter certainly would have known if righteousness, if WORKS had been done away&nbsp;&ndash; and yet he was INSPIRED BY GOD to say &ldquo;He that <strong>WORKS<\/strong> RIGHTEOUSNESS is ACCEPTED BY HIM!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"00James220\">James 2:20<\/span><\/strong> <em>But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If you claim to have FAITH in Christ, but don&rsquo;t have the WORKS he COMMANDED, your faith in him a FALSE, DECIEVED faith, and it is DEAD!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"10James219\">James 2:19<\/span><\/strong> <em>Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Just &ldquo;believing&rdquo; God exists, or believing something ABOUT Him, isn&rsquo;t enough&nbsp;&ndash; Satan believes God exists, and that Christ died for our sins&nbsp;&ndash; but that will not save him, will it?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"20James218\">James 2:18<\/span><\/strong> <em>Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith WITHOUT thy works, and I will shew thee my faith <u><strong>BY<\/strong><\/u> <strong>MY WORKS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>How can YOU tell a MAN OF GOD from a follower of the DEVIL? Again, your Bible holds the answer! The children of God have WORKS!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"001nbspJohn310\">1&nbsp;John 3:10<\/span><\/strong> <em>In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever <strong>doeth not righteousness is not of God<\/strong>, neither he that loveth not his brother.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If someone tells you that WORKS are not important, then scripture says that man is FOLLOWING THE DEVIL!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"101nbspJohn24\">1&nbsp;John 2:4<\/span><\/strong> <em>He that saith, <strong>I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar,<\/strong> and the truth is not in him.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The &ldquo;Apostle of Love,&rdquo; John, says that without righteousness, without KEEPING the commandments, without WORKS, YOU are not of God! And if you&rsquo;re not of God, if you are a wicked, or UNrighteous person, God HATES YOU!<\/p>\n<p>If you have taken this to heart, if you want to CHANGE, and want God to LOVE you as he so desperately WANTS to be able to do, YOUR BIBLE tells you HOW! No man can tell you the way, but YOU can SEE for YOURSELF WHAT <em><strong>GOD<\/strong><\/em> says!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"30James48\">James 4:8<\/span><\/strong> <em><strong>Draw nigh to God, and He WILL draw nigh to you!<\/strong> CLEANSE your hands, ye sinners; and PURIFY your hearts, ye double minded.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"verse-highlight\"><strong><span id=\"10Ezekiel182122\">Ezekiel 18:21-22<\/span><\/strong> <em>But IF the wicked will TURN FROM ALL HIS SINS that he hath committed, and KEEP ALL my statutes, and DO that which is lawful and right, he SHALL SURELY LIVE, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: <strong>IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS that he hath done he shall live<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>HOW do you get God to LOVE YOU above other men? Get God to HEAR when you cry unto him? You&rsquo;ve just read in your own Bible that it is through WORKS!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The churches in the world today almost UNIVERSALLY believe that God loves ALL MEN equally&nbsp;&ndash; showing no favoritism&nbsp;&ndash; AFTER ALL, they say, God is not a respecter of persons!
