God is love

ok sorry its been so long since i posted but here it goes.....


i want to talk about God's love today. alot of time God's judgment and hatred of sin gets preached on more times than naught. but we are missing a very very big point, His love.
many times we, when preaching try to "scare" sinners into heaven, but we fail to preach his love. yes i understand that God is angry with the wicked, but he still loves that soul. In 1 john 4:8 it says that God is love, if God is love then how can we preach that he hates the sinner, i believe that he hate the sin and loves the sinner otherwise he would not have sent his son to die on the cross for our sins. and for those of you that are saying that he loves the elect and not the unelected then we are missing the point that God is not a respector of persons, God loves all but by his nature and by virtue of him not contradicting his word he must send souls to hell that do not accept his son. if we miss the point of His love then we have missed the whole thing, because if it was not out of love that he sent christ then y did he send him? was it because of us no it was because of his love!!!!! so to summarize we need to have a balance of preaching his judgment and his love!!!!
