I'm reading through some discussions and saw this. I know it's a bit old, but I had some of the same questions for awhile. And the more I've studied the Word and seen things in context, here is my somewhat simplistic view of this from what I understand.<br />

God so loved "the world"...the whole world...everyone.<br />
<br />
He is not willing that ANY should perish but ALL would come to repentance....again, He wants everyone to be saved.<br />

<br />
God so loved "the world"...the whole world...everyone.<br />
<br />
He is not willing that ANY should perish but ALL would come to repentance....again, He wants everyone to be saved.<br />
<br />
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse....everyone can see His creation. We can then choose to believe this was created by something much greater, someone who gave us the earth and life, or...and this is actually funny when you think about it...we can choose to believe that some random explosion in space created breathing, thinking humans able to procreate; animals of various unique species; oxygen (from a void with no oxygen), a sun to give us light and heat. I could go on, but back to the question.<br />
<br />
These tell me that God wants everyone to come to Him, and so much so that Jesus (who is God, a part of God) willingly gave up heaven for a time and died a horrible death as a sacrifice. As none can live without blood, blood is what gives life and a sacrifice of blood is needed to cleanse our lives from unrighteousness. God is righteous and nothing unrighteous can please Him. So because we CAN'T be righteous, Christ had to make us righteous.<br />
<br />
So we know God wants EVERYONE, and if we're willing to believe in something greater than a stick of dynamite, He will call us so we can come to Christ. And He can only be pleased by those who believe in Christ, those made righteous. Hi Janie,

<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">Hi Janie,</font></p>
<p></p>

<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">Hi Janie,</font></p>
<p></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">Long time no talk.. I've been thinking about you, and miss you. Your questions are great questions.</font></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><font face="Calibri" size="3">"Do you know Jesus?" If so ,How do you know you know Him? How do you know He knows you?</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">This makes me think of John 10:27. “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me”</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">One of the characteristics of a child of God is someone who can hear His voice. There are so many distractions and false teachings, but discernment is a big part of hearing the voice of Christ above all other voices. We follow the voice of Jesus over others. Thoughts and temptations still come, but we make the choice to listen to and act on God’s voice over all others. I know Him because I have studied Him, had fellowship around learning about Him thru discussion, and served together with others who know Him. I know He knows me because I can see His hand in answered prayer. I know my deep need for Him and surrender to that daily and even moment by moment. I don't even want to think about what my life would look like without HIM. I can't fathom that. </font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Calibri" size="3">What does "In Jesus" mean?</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">This means to be safe in Him. Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, and once we are saved, we are IN Him. When God the Father looks at us, He sees us with the perfection of Christ. We are washed clean by the blood of Christ. This alone is worthy of an indepth study to gain a greater understanding of the ‘power of the blood of Christ’</font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Calibri" size="3">Who is Jesus?</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">Jesus is God. Jesus is Messiah. Jesus is Saviour and Redeemer. He is the Alpha and the Omega which means the beginning and the end. Everything was created by Him and for Him. He has full authority over all things.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><strong>Who is Jesus' chosen ones? </strong></font></font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">I don’t know. The best I can tell is that anyone who calls on His name to be saved are His. A changed life is evidence of it, but everyone grows at a different pace. Obedience is important…motivation of the heart is foundational. </font></font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Calibri" size="3">What is true repentance?</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">Repentance is a change of heart which results in a change of actions. It’s a complete turn about in desires. However, we are still here in the flesh learning how to battle temptations and desires in His strength because that is the only thing that will bring true victory over sin. We've changed our mind about sin, and now we agree with God and what He says about it. Basically, if God says it is sin, than it is sin and there are no disputes over that. </font></p>
