If
God Loves Everybody, Why Will Anybody Be Lost?
Introduction:
“If God loves everybody, why will anybody be lost?” M. Connelly
The answer is: Love is a two-way street. Some will be lost because they do
not return God’s love and refuse to follow His commandments.
Body:
-
Romans
1:15-18
“So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are
in Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is
the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew
first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is
revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live
by faith.” NKJV
There is no favoritism; God loves everyone. He has
provided a way for all to be saved. Salvation comes through union with
Christ.
-
Romans
2:6-11
“who will render to each one according to his deeds: eternal life to
those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor,
and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the
truth, but obey unrighteousness – indignation and wrath, tribulation and
anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also
of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is
good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no
partiality with God.” NKJV
God loves everyone, but some
will not love God back. The gospel is for all. How we spend eternal
life will be determined by the attitude of our heart. If we are
self-seeking, tribulation will come to us.
-
Romans
3:23-26
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified
freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom
God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to
demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed
over the sins that were previously committed. to demonstrate at the
present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier
of the one who has faith in Jesus.” NKJV
The gospel has the power to save. Redemption comes through Jesus and
His grace. Everybody was offered grace, because all have sinned. One
must accept grace by following His commandments. There is no
demonstration of righteousness outside of Jesus. Therefore, they are
not saved. God would not be
just
if He saved everyone. Not everyone is justified. There are those who
do not return God’s love.
Invitation:
God loves all and has provided a way for all to be saved. If I reject
that, I will be lost; not because God did not love me, but because I would
not love God.
