LOVE THAT WILL NOT LET ME GO<br />
A FRESH LOOK AT GENESIS<br />
M.M.NINAN<br />
original strongly implies the fact that this pleasure is good. We see that <strong>Go</strong>d has a plan and a<br />
purpose which include bringing the entire universe under the headship of Jesus Christ. The<br />
goodness of <strong>Go</strong>d's pleasure, the fact that he has a plan from the very beginning, a plan to<br />
which he relates all his individual acts, is the very opposite of arbitrary decisions.<br />
The rest of Scripture abundantly testifies to this. Over and over again, Scripture speaks of<br />
<strong>Go</strong>d's reliability, his goodness, faithfulness. Does any person who displays these<br />
qualities make arbitrary decisions? Are these the qualities of a capricious person?<br />
Rather, if we go from the Scriptural witness to the character of <strong>Go</strong>d, then predestination<br />
is not arbitrary, but inseparable from <strong>Go</strong>d's goodness, knowledge, and wisdom. The<br />
choices <strong>Go</strong>d makes in predestination are simply the best possible choices, and are all tied up<br />
with the purposes he has had from all eternity. In this, as in all things, we can surely trust<br />

Bible Verses About <strong>Go</strong>d <strong>Love</strong>s Everyone<br />
Bible verses related to <strong>Go</strong>d <strong>Love</strong>s Everyone from the King James Version (KJV) by Relevance<br />
Romans 5:8 - But <strong>Go</strong>d commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,<br />
Christ died for us.<br />
So <strong>Go</strong>d loves even the sinners and died to save all of them.<br />
all?<br />
Did he elect all? Could he save<br />
If <strong>Go</strong>d is <strong>Love</strong> and Adam was the son of <strong>Go</strong>d, wont he save all of his children through<br />
Adam? Do they have a choice?<br />
John 3:16 - For <strong>Go</strong>d so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever<br />
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.<br />
Jesus did die for all the world and did he give the ability to believe in him also?<br />
Certainly<br />
otherwise this death has no meaning. Man can still choose. He is still free even when they<br />
are sinners.<br />
Proverbs 8:17 - I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.<br />
Matthew 5:43-48 - Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and<br />
hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, <strong>Love</strong> your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good<br />
to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; <strong>That</strong><br />
ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the<br />
evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which<br />
love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your<br />
brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore<br />
perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.<br />
