I’ve done that before...well it took several settings...this is what I came away with.
He loves all men and women. He also loves every man and women INDIVIDUALLY. If you were the only lost sheep in God’s creation, God in Flesh would have died for you personally so that your sins are forgiven and so that you could be established in God’s family. He loves you that deeply and that severely.
He wants not to compress your humanity but to expand it. In the day of your resurrection
you will be made more HUMAN than you possibly could ever have imagined, the same humanity that Christ is now, fully and PURELY human(not this stinking shell of corruption we are wrapped in now) and fully a daughter of God and you will experience the things of God and heaven in ways you never will have dreamed of. Your relationship with Christ and the entire God head will be such that even the angels will have longed to look into but will never know of it. While you’ll enjoy the company of other souls with you, your relationship with God will be yours uniquely and not like anybody else’s.
And that is what I came away with after reading Isaiah. God loves you and if you were the only one he needed to die for just to spare your soul from the pit...then God would have sent his Son...just for you! We can ply scriptures and spin explanations...but the final distillation of everything in the Bible comes down to the love God has for the world and for every individual in it, past present and future, so much love that God came as the incarnate son of God, and sacrificed himself as that final perfect sacrifice, so that you might not die but have life eternal with him. Isaiah is just a variant of Joshua or Yeshua...they all mean “Saviour”. When I look at Isaiah, I see Jesus Christ wooing the lost like a suitor woos a woman to be his bride.
God loves you “Lady”...
Absolutely true, but sadly lost upon her. Recent posts from her lead me to doubt that she believes in God at all.
