Without God,
there is chaos.
18 “If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. 20 Remember the word I spoke to you,[a] ‘No slave is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 And they will do all these things to you on account of my name,[b] because they do not know the one who sent me.-John15:18-21
Such is the love
of God for us. Sometimes the depth and absurdity of God's love is so
difficult to fathom. Why not simply eliminate His foes? Why not
simply silence the people who hated or persecuted the Christians? The
answer is Love. No one is unforgivable. No one deserves damnation if
s/he tries to change and be better. God has faith too, in each and
every one of us. God believes in us that no matter how chaotic our
life or surroundings may be, we will find our way home to Him.
