Jesus said: "There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance." - Luke 15:7
I believe too many FREEPERS fail to see the BIG picture...and God's perspective because of their own sense of due judgment (forgetting that save God's GRACE...they would also be due judgment).
What would have MORE impact? A DEAD Chavez burning in hell...or a live, fully repentant, Chavez who has come to genuine Faith in Christ for his salvation?
What would be better...Obama the way he is...cursed...suffering due to some malady as some are praying for...or an Obama that is genuinely saved...who is now AGAINST gay marriage and abortion because he has repented?
The first just satisfies my sense of justice. The second fulfills GOD'S desires where he says He would than none would perish but that ALL would repent (2 Peter 3:9). The first accomplishes NOTHING but darkens my soul to the grace of God. The second saves a soul (which is why Christ came) and is a powerful testimony to all.
So, no, I will pray that Chavez AND Obama will be saved...and use their positions to spread the Gospel. Is that likely? My humanity says "No"...but through God all things are possible. The benefits of the second outweigh those of the first regarding the Kingdom of God. Come November I will vote against O...and continue to pray that Romney will be saved. The early church knew: Better a saved Claudius...than replace Claudius with Nero.
Bless...and curse NOT. Romans 12:14
You democrats don’t fool me .
