“ What we need are fire and brimstone revivals”

Fire and brimstone doesn’t scare anyone, it’s not something people can relate to, now gaining love or losing love, the love of Jesus might be something people can relate to.

Losing the Love and Grace of Jesus is my biggest fear.

Executing people publicly who do things like steal Presidential elections would scare some

Losing the Love and Grace of Jesus is my biggest fear.

Which is something we really don't need to worry about.

Romans 5:6-10 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

If Jesus was willing to do this for us when we were at our worst, then He will NOT love us any less when we become followers of Him.

His love for us is not based on our behavior but on the fact that we are His workmanship. He created us for the purpose of having fellowship with Him and He wants it.

After going to such great lengths to save us and draw us to Himself, He's not going to abandon us when we mess up.

Psalm 103:10-14 He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

Take heart. He will NOT abandon you. Nor do I believe He will let us abandon him so easily either.
