I love you too with the love of God shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit (i.e. Godly love which is not physical or earthly it transcends all other forms of human love). Human love between a man and a woman is romantic and/or sexual love. The love between a parent and child is emotional and/or unconditional love. But the love of God is a love that has no strings of any kind attached and it is the highest kind of unconditional love. It is with this love by faith that Christians love the unsaved, Jesus-rejecting populace. We are only capable of expressing this kind of love by the presence of the Holy Spirit because He is Love (and He dwells in us). This is the same love that Jesus Christ expressed as He hung on the cross in absolute, unutterable, unprecedented, humiliation and pain. Jesus' pain was not just physical, but spiritual as well. Jesus' pain pervaded every part of His being: spirit, soul, and body. Jesus suffered the weight and condemnation of the sins of the entire world. The two thieves that were on either side of Jesus were crucified for their own respective sins. But Jesus Christ was crucified for our sins...(I feel like weeping). In addition to the intense physical beating and torture that Jesus underwent (including the fact that He hadn't had any food or rest, and had loss substantial amounts of blood)--Jesus suffered the pain of being separated from His Father for the first time in His eternal existence. Jesus had always experienced unbroken fellowship with His Father for eternity. But the moment that Jesus took our sins upon Himself (i.e. the moment that Jesus willingly became the object of His Father's judgment and wrath against sinners/sin), His Father turned His back on Him (treating Jesus as if He were us: wicked sinners). That is why Jesus cried out,
Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
We don't truly grasp nor understand what Christ went through to make Heaven attainable for anyone. Anyone can have a right to the Tree of Life in Heaven thanks to Jesus. Anyone can be saved. All it takes is child-like faith in Jesus. What are you (all) waiting for? Ask Jesus Christ to save you from your sins so that you can go to Heaven. I double dog dare you. He will do it posthaste. But you must be sincere. It does not matter whether you are Black, White, Red, Yellow, or Brown, the same Lord (i.e. Jesus) over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
Romans 10:12
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
