How Jesus Really Feels About You

How Jesus Really Feels About You

Posted by | Aug 22, 2024 | |

I am often surprised and dismayed when I hear Christians speak about the way God feels about them. So many believers live with the conviction that God is generally displeased with them, that he regards them with a sense of disappointment. They may even believe he has a sense of regret that he reached out to them and saved them. While they believe they are forgiven and will someday be accepted into heaven, they carry the sense that God will welcome them reluctantly and more out of a sense of obligation than delight.See AlsoNew and Notable Christian Books for July 2024New and Notable Christian Books for June 2024And You Shall Never Displease Me
