God has always preferred, planned, and provided our deliverance from sin, even before the foundation of the world.
God knew Adam's sinful condition and location, yet God came "looking" for Adam, calling Adam to Himself. God provided covering for Adam's physical, moral, and spiritual nakedness.
God has always taken the FIRST STEP toward sinful mankind. But He gives us the option to either receive or reject His provision for forgiveness, righteousness, and eternal life.
God tells us to seek Him with our whole heart. If we seek Him, we will find Him. If we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us.
God warned Cain and directed him into a path that would have kept Cain from moving further into his sin. God not only provided Cain a way to escape the snare of sin, but God also mercifully extended protection to Cain after Cain rejected God's warning and killed his brother.
All through human history, God has desired and provided the reconciliation of fallen men.
God sent His Son to seek and to save the lost.
God's search-and-rescue mission continues through His people, the Church.
God sends His redeemed children to seek the lost and bring them to salvation. We are God's ambassadors, sent to reconcile the rebels to God.
The Bible speaks about the universality of the love of God and His atonement. Yes, God is righteous and just, as well as loving, merciful, and kind. God is balanced. God does hold us accountable for every thought, word, and deed. But He has also provided atonement and reconciliation to whosoever will trust in Christ as Savior and Lord.
There is a famine of Biblical truth today, and as a result, people are glomming onto the "half-truths" of Reformed (more accurately, Deformed) Theology, and the warped views of Neo-Charismatic (more accurately, Crazymatic) or Apostolic (more accurately, Apostasyholic) Movement, and the Reconstructed or Deconstructed (more accurately Destructed) "Christianity."
It takes time, dedication, single-mindedness, spiritual life and understanding, knowledge of Scripture and Church history and Bible Doctrine in order to know Biblical Christianity. But most people want to be spoon-fed the lies of Satan, rather than actually study, seek, and submit to the revealed word of God.
If you have sinned (and you have), then you are separated from God, and you need Divine reconciliation (which God has provided). YOU are included in God's love and redemption, but you are not forced into it. You have a choice, an actual choice. You can believe and receive God's offer of forgiveness and deliverance from sin. If you do not believe and receive then you are choosing to rebel against God and to bear your own guilt.
He loves you, willingly and redemptively, but since God has given you the freedom of choice, your choices will have consequences. Receive and be saved or reject and be condemned for your own sins.
