Imagine you are a loving parent.

What would it be like if every time you tried to tell your long lost children to come home, they ran away scared because their siblings (who live with you) told them you hated them and wouldn’t accept them until they ”cleaned themselves up”  ?

Your heart would be absolutely broken.

I bet you this is how my Dad in Heaven feels.

Christians…

If you’re preaching and telling people that God hates sinners and wants to destroy them, I am sorry to have to tell you, but you are preaching hate.

If you are preaching a gospel that says God wants people to end up in Hell or even created some people to go there, you probably need to relax and realize that God is in a very good mood.

If you’re preaching a gospel that makes God’s love sound like ‘I love you, but if you don’t do what I say, you’re GOING TO HELL!’, then I would challenge you to please take this to Jesus and genuinely ask Him if this is his heart.

Even if you think you can back it up scripturally and you pride yourself on being able to that, please stop.

Our Dad is good.

Open your eyes to the fact that He accepts everyone 100% and just wants people to accept Him.

But people will be afraid to accept Him if they think He’s just another person who only loves because of what He can get out of it.

Please.

It’s Kindness that draws repentance.

Not repentance that draws Kindness.
