unbelief could think that way. They
didn't believe God loved them. That's
the bottom line. Like I said, this is the
key issue. It was the reason for the
failure of the children of Israel in the
wilderness, and it's the reason
Christians fail today. You'll often hear
people say: "Why did You let this
terrible thing happen to me, LORD?"
Sound familiar? Sure it does. There are
good people who believe the reason
they're sick and don't have enough of
anything in life is because for some
mysterious reason God has put
sickness and trouble on them and/or
He is withholding their healing. If we
were to ask them if God loves them,
most would answer yes. However, it's
very obvious they don't really believe
He does. They have mentally agreed
with what the Bible says about it but
have no faith in their hearts that He
really does.
LOVE went to hell so we don't have to
go. LOVE was tied to the whipping post
so that by His stripes we could be
healed. LOVE was made a curse for us
so we could be BLESSED with THE
BLESSING of Abraham. LOVE became
poor so we could become rich. Not
only that, LOVE came to live inside us
so He could teach us how to live the
high life that Jesus demonstrated when
He was on earth.
