JESUS CHRIST RETURNS IN IN THE YEAR 2020 AND WE CAN EXPECT UNBELIEVABLE CHAOS. The Evidence That This Is Not When Jesus Christ Will Be Returning. Much has to happen before Lord Jesus Christ returns because certain prophecies have to be fulfilled.

Lord Jesus Christ will not be returning in the middle of 2020. The Summer Solstice (Winter Solstice for those down under) will pass and Lord Jesus will not have returned. June and July will pass and the Antichrist will not have appeared.
The reason why I can say with certainty that Lord Jesus Christ will not return in four years, even though the Last Trump is close, there are certain events that have to be fulfilled. The world is heading for the a One World Government, but it will not be happening in the next four years, even though in one sense there is already a One World Government, because the world is run by the central banks, which all answer in some way to the Bank of International Settlements. But this is not the One World Government that The Antichrist will attempt to institute.
However, the return of Lord Jesus Christ will be facilitated when more people become Christians. The Bible does say that when the number of the Gentiles is complete then that day will happen, but not before. One thing for sure, those who are alive will need to be more aware of what the milk of the word is if they are to be numbered among those who are to be caught up to meet Lord Jesus Christ when He appears in the clouds.
Here is one prediction that exists in the Bible: Return, O Lord, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel (Numbers 10:36).
There will have to be at least 10 million inhabitants in Israel before Lord Jesus Christ returns. At the rate of 50,000 immigrants a year, the immigration rate will have to speed up if there are to be 10 million Jews living in Israel in four years time. An increase in antisemitism in Europe might help the process. And that is only one prophetic indicator that has to be fulfilled. There are many more.

JESUS CHRIST IS NOT ALWAYS VIEWED THE SAME BY EVERY CHRISTIAN. Likewise, The Father Is Not Always Seen In The Same Light By Everybody, Even Christians. Not everyone understands what it means to be a Christian, let alone Who the Father and the Son are.



Do Christians ever worship Jesus? or Is he only a Preacher? Because I see many Christian pray to Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father.. I am learning Christianity and this concept leaves me very confused…

There are many people who call themselves Christians but they do not know the Father nor Lord Jesus Christ. These people can be cultural Christians. They might be traditional Christians. They may be intellectual Christians who have assented to following the ideals that are found in some of the sayings attributed to Jesus. They may be people who have been convinced that the teachings of a certain group that are based upon the Bible to be true and become denominational Christians.

Many of these people may talk to God. In which case, these people may view God as the Creator who permits them to receive what they ask, providing that act upon their beliefs. Positive thinkers who act upon what they believe, receive what they ask, according to their faith—but bear in mind, faith without works is dead.

Positive thinking is a biblical principle, just as forgiving other people is a biblical principle. What is not a biblical principle is seeking forgiveness for one’s own evils but not repenting from one’s behavior and diving back into the sewer of sin.

When a person decides to seek God the Father, the first thing required is a distaste for evil. The second thing is repentance from doing evil and a positive demeanor towards an expected union. The third thing is a desire for the truth .

When a person desires the truth, by praying to the Father, each person will be shown the truth—if they are genuine. Likewise, when a person truly desires to know the truth about whether Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead, by asking either the Father to reveal Him or asking the resurrected Lord of Life to reveal Himself, this will occur. However, bear this in mind, halfhearted quests are inadequate, for one has to desire to know Lord Jesus Christ with all one’s heart, mind, soul and strength, if one truly desires an audience with Him. The glib and self-conceited do not get a look in.

Christianity—that is, true Christianity—requires us to know Lord Jesus Christ. To be a Christian means to belong to Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah. When a person becomes a citizen of another country, that person has to be inducted as a member by some means. Likewise, when a person becomes a member of the Kingdom of God and a Christian, the induction requires us to repent and exercise faith towards God by asking Him to reveal Lord Jesus Christ. Or we can ask Lord Jesus Christ to reveal Himself to us. For Lord Jesus Christ is the Way to the Truth that enables us to possess Life eternal.

Calling upon Lord Jesus Christ is the same as calling upon the Father because the Son of God has revealed the Father and the name of God. The revealed name of God is Lord Jesus Christ.

We can ask for anything in the name of the Lord Jesus and the Father will do it—providing we have faith.
  • And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will be done. (Matthew 21:21)
  • If you ask anything in my name, I will do it. (John 14:14)
  • In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name. (John 16:23)
We can ask anything of the Father in Jesus name and—this is a very important caveat—if we do not doubt (an iota), we shall receive what we ask. Doubting is sin. To doubt God is to disbelieve that He does not keep His word and this is to dishonor Him.

Now praying (talking) to the Father is a matter of trusting that He hears what is being said. This is what the Apostle John wrote:
  • I write this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him. (1 John 5:13–15)
You will notice that the Apostle John placed another qualifier for those who truly want to know truth and acknowledge that the Creator knows more than us. For if we ask anything according to His will He hears us.

The Bible teaches that Jesus is the only mediator between man and God and He intercedes for us:
  • For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 2:5)
  • Who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us? (Romans 8:34)
In which case, we can say that calling upon Lord Jesus is just as good as calling upon our Heavenly Father in the name of the Son of God. The key is not to doubt that we are not being heard. Therefore, if we ask anything of the Father in Jesus’ name, we know that our Savior Lord Jesus Christ is interceding on our behalf that we might learn how to walk in the wisdom of God.

THE KORAN IS DIFFERENT TO THE HOLY BIBLE. This Is Not Only Because The Prophet Moses Is Rejected And Lord Jesus Christ As Well, But Because Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself Is Not What Muhammad Preached. The Koran has many verses that contradict what is written in other verses.



The New Testament teaches that Jesus rose from the dead and paid the price for the sin of the whole world, so everyone could be reconciled to God, and an invitation could be extended to every person to receive eternal life and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Compared to the Bible, the Quran teaches nothing of the sort. Although, there is reference to the Gospels and the Torah that gives a very clear indication that every Muslim should uphold the Ten Commandments and the Gospel message. This is what we learn the prophet Muhammad claims he was told by God:
  • If only they would uphold the Torah and the Gospel, and what is sent down to them herein from their Lord, they would be showered with blessings from above them and from beneath their feet. Some of them are righteous, but many of them are evildoers.[Sura 5:67]
The New Testament draws upon the Old Testament to demonstrate the plan and purpose of God as fulfilled in Lord Jesus Christ. In this respect, the Old Testament is understood when explained by the New Testament.
  • For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.(Romans 15:4)
  • From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures (Torah/Tanakh/Old Testament) which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:15-17).
The Quran has many inconsistencies in respect to the claim that it is a clearer revelation of the Old Testament and the New Testament. Muhammad refers to Bible as the truth, but the Quran does not add new revelation to the Bible.
  • And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.[Sura 5:48]
  • And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ. [Sura 5:49]
  • If only they would uphold the Torah and the Gospel, and what is sent down to them herein from their Lord, they would be showered with blessings from above them and from beneath their feet. Some of them are righteous, but many of them are evildoers.[Sura 5:67]
Gospels/Epistles
Jesus is the Son of God.
  • The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Mark 1:1)
The Jewish High Priest understood that God had a Son.
  • But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.” (Matthew 26:63)
The man to whom was given the Revelation on the Isle of Patmos understood that Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God.
  • These are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name. (John 20:31)
Demons understood that Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God.
  • When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!” (Luke 8:28)
The Roman Centurion who was guarding Jesus when He was crucified on the Cross of Calvary had the revelation that the Son of God was being sentenced to death.
  • Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.” (Matthew 27:54)
Saul, the Pharisee, who persecuted the Church and desired to kill Christians, came to understand Lord Jesus Christ was the Son of God because He had risen from the dead.
  • [Son of David according to the flesh] was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 1:4)
The Quran does not acknowledge the New Testament truth that Jesus, the Son of Mary, was in fact the Son of God, the Messiah, who was to come. This, even though the Quran says that what is in the Gospels is true. Instead, the Quran seems to indicate that it is affected by dogmatic theology that is not Gospel theology.
The following taken from the Quran (Sahih International):
And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah ." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.
Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise. And there is none from the People of the Scripture but that he will surely believe in Jesus before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection he will be against them a witness. For wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We made unlawful for them [certain] good foods which had been lawful to them, and for their averting from the way of Allah many [people],
And [for] their taking of usury while they had been forbidden from it, and their consuming of the people's wealth unjustly. And we have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
But those firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you. And the establishers of prayer [especially] and the givers of zakah and the believers in Allah and the Last Day - those We will give a great reward. Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And we revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the book [of Psalms].
And [We sent] messengers about whom We have related [their stories] to you before and messengers about whom We have not related to you. And Allah spoke to Moses with [direct] speech.[We sent] messengers as bringers of good tidings and warners so that mankind will have no argument against Allah after the messengers. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise.
But Allah bears witness to that which He has revealed to you. He has sent it down with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness [as well]. And sufficient is Allah as Witness.Indeed, those who disbelieve and avert [people] from the way of Allah have certainly gone far astray.
Indeed, those who disbelieve and commit wrong [or injustice] - never will Allah forgive them, nor will He guide them to a path. 
Except the path of Hell; they will abide therein forever. And that, for Allah , is [always] easy. 
 O Mankind, the Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe; it is better for you. But if you disbelieve - then indeed, to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth. And ever is Allah Knowing and Wise.
O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. (Sura 4:158 -172)
That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.Itis not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.[Jesus said], "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path." (Sura 19:34-19:36)
If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. And Allah is over all things competent (Sura 9:39) 
O, you who have believed, be supporters of Allah , as when Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples, "Who are my supporters for Allah ?" The disciples said, "We are supporters of Allah ." And a faction of the Children of Israel believed and a faction disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant.(Sura 61:15)
In the Old Testament we are told that unless a person teaches in accordance to the Law and the Prophets that person is accursed. In the New Testament book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible finishes with a warning to anyone who adds or detracts from what is written in that book. This is written as warning to any who would attempt to teach anything other than what is written in the Scriptures.
  • Turn to the law and to the testimony! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them. (Isaiah 8:20)
  • I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book. If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.(Revelation 22:18–19)
There are more matters where the Quran differs to the Gospel’s revelation of God to man, but the fact that the Muhammad claims that the Gospels and the Torah are to be obeyed, yet Muslims seem to be at odds with the teachings therein, is a problem for those who reject Jesus’ teachings. Surely, Muhammad cannot claim that the Gospels are to be acknowledged as the truth and then dishonor them. For on the point of Jesus’ death and resurrection, there is so much inconsistency in the Quran that this is alarming. Either Jesus is the Son of God in accordance with the Old and New Testaments or people are being misled, if they are told to disregard what is written; especially, when it comes to obeying what is written in the Gospels and the Ten Commandments written by the Lord God Himself.

IF ARMAGEDDON IS NOT FABRICATED IT IS AN EVENT WE CAN EXPECT BECAUSE THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS TRUE. The Ideas Expressed In The Book Of Revelation Torment Some People. Individuals who have come to know the truth are not tormented by what is written in the book of Revelation.



Its supposed prophesies of "end times" and "Armageddon" are not good for modern society. Christianity is supposed to change and improve. Why don't Christians do the right thing and improve their religion? Independent scientists, the pope, and others confirm that the book of Revelation was a hoax.

Christianity is not a corporation run by a chief executive. Yet you say Christianity is supposed to change and improve. So what do you think should improve?
The message of true Christianity is for everybody to love their neighbor as they would like to be loved themselves. The message is not “if you do not do as we say, we will chop your head off”.
You ask: "Why don’t Christians do the right thing and improve their religion?"
So you do not agree that it is the right thing to love your neighbor as yourself. Am I to assume you would rather torture, murder people and subjugate women as sex slaves, instead, especially Christians, because they do not do what you want to do and bow down according to your dictates?
As for improving Christians’ religion, do you understand what religion really means? Or are you like the many people who mistake religion for culture or astrology or wishful thinking?
Religion, that is, true religion, is the quest for the truth.
You claim independent scientists confirm that the book of Revelation was a hoax. Obviously, you have no sources, but even if you did, you might do well to ask them to explain why the UPC barcodes have the number 666 on everyone of them, so nobody can buy and sell manufactured goods without that number, just as it states would happen in the Book of Revelation—which, by the way, was written nearly two thousand years ago.
  • He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads; and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six (666). (Revelation 13:16–18)
The writing is on the wall. Either you are making such claims regarding the book of Revelation being a hoax out of ignorance or you are uncomfortable with the truth—maybe because you have an issue with prophecy coming to pass. In which case, it is apparent that you find comfort in denigrating what you do not want to accept.
If you were to say such things about Hinduism or Islam, you would be censored. Christians have nothing to fear, therefore they permit freedom of speech. Indeed, those who have the truth have nothing to fear at all. The ones who hate the truth promote falsehood; then later on they are afraid of being found out.
Science and religion have much in common. True science acknowledges the truth that Creation testifies to its Creator. True science is true religion. False religion makes up an assumption and then asserts the assumption as fact, which is what happens with the theory of evolution that is promulgated by secular bigots (something that ex-atheist Antony Flew identified Richard Dawkins as being). False religion is just like those false scientists who assert dogma as fact rather than acknowledge the truth.
Now the truth about the book of Revelation is that symbolism is used to instruct people, who truly want to know, what is to come. Those who are wise seek to understand the rest of the Bible so that they can understand the book of Revelation; for the book of Revelation is more accurate than people realize. For example, the number on all the UPC barcodes is evidence of this accuracy.
As for the Pope, the book of Revelation identifies a particular harlot that sits on seven hills and holds to the Babylonian mythology that is designed to mislead people. Babylonian mythology contains ideas such as eternal salvation being obtainable through the mother of god, the queen of heaven or a virgin who gave birth to a child. As it happens, many people from the day that the book of Revelation was circulated have identified Rome as the city that sits on seven hills and, for some reason, the allegorical city of Sodom, even though the crucifixion did not literally take place at the Vatican. This is not to mention the passage in chapter seventeen of Revelation (below) that refers to martyrs being cited as what is recorded in Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Therefore, one can easily understand why any Pope, if not all the Popes, would say that the book of Revelation is nonsense—that is, if what you say is true.
  • And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. (Revelation 11:8)
  • Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who is seated upon many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and with the wine of whose fornication the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and bedecked with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominationsand the impurities of her fornication; and on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth’s abominations.” And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her I marveled greatly. But the angel said to me, “Why marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is to ascend from the bottomless pit and go to perdition; and the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel to behold the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated .(Revelation 17:1–9)
Why would you want to abolish a book that warns of things to come? Rather than being detrimental to people, surely advanced warning of what is to come would provide an advantage. Maybe your claims are the hoax in respect to the book of Revelation.

MAHATMA GANDHI IS ONE OF THE MOST ESTEEMED MEN TODAY. Although, Not Really Coming Close To Lord Jesus Christ, He Did Make Claims Of Loving Jesus, Except Not Really. Jesus said that if any man loves Him, he will take up his cross and follow Him. Gandhi did not do this, therefore his claim to loving Jesus is questionable.



Is someone who really views things this way potentially close to faith?

Harry Riches

How can a Christian effectively answer Gandhi's quote "I love your Jesus, but not your Christians?"
Is someone who really views things this way potentially close to faith?
Or do you mean, Is someone who stated the following close to faith?
Gandhi attended a meeting where South African preacher Andrew Murray was speaking. I have read a number of biographies on Gandhi, and in one, which I have not come across since, Gandhi is quoted as having said that he had to exert all his will power to resist the preaching of Andrew Murray as he felt the urge to respond to the call to publicly acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord.
Andrew Murray was heralded by many who knew him as a man of God. Gandhi, on the other hand, was a lawyer who resented colonization. He believed every individual was acculturated to his tradition as children and to reject this was to reject one’s origins. For Gandhi to acknowledge Lord Jesus Christ as Creator meant that he had to deny his Indian heritage and forgive all those people who ill-treated him in South Africa for being a colored man. Unless one is subjected to this form of racism, one would not know how ingrained it can become, irrespective of which side of the coin one might find oneself.
One person I know, who became a Christian after more than thirty years of adventure and searching for the truth throughout the world, had to overcome his ingrained acculturation when a black man in a restaurant was invited to join us. This now retired man had spent the first twenty-five years of his life in South Africa. Although he came from a respectable white professional family, this man was a rebel and did not finish high school, whereas his brother became a professor in a UK university. When in South Africa, this man got drunk regularly and had even been locked up with blacks and coloreds in jail, but was always treated as their superior. Racism is just as obstinate as pride.
South Africa is where Gandhi came to understand racism. Gandhi became a racist and claimed that caste and religion can be swept aside, but race prevails. Anybody who asserts that they belong to a particular culture becomes a racist. Gandhi also claimed that everybody was born into their culture and they become acculturated and should not change. His pacifism was meritorious in that he was able to mobilize the resentment of Indians against their British overlords, channel it into peaceful protest and gain independence for India. Unfortunately, he was not like Lord Jesus Christ, for when Gandhi was shot by a disgruntled Hindu nationalist, there were no reports of his resurrection from the dead.
Many people read the Gospels and recognize the message of Jesus of Nazareth was mixed, for He spoke of people being condemned to eternal punishment, yet He Himself harmed no one. Instead of resorting to violence to defend Himself, Jesus restored even the ear of a soldier who came to arrest him, after it had been cut off by his disciple Peter. Such was the compassion of Jesus of Nazareth, even though He had foretold what was to become of Him, and understood where the soldier was going to take him. For Jesus was to be brutally and physically ill-treated beyond comprehension; yet he possessed the will to carry his own cross to the hill of crucifixion at Calvary, a forsaken individual—even by those who had shared His table—so that every human being could be reconciled to their Heavenly Father, if they so desired.
Gandhi may have claimed that he admired Jesus of Nazareth. Yet he did everything possible to deny Jesus the right to be Lord of his life when presented with the opportunity at that Keswick Convention Meeting in London, where Andrew Murray was speaking, and later at a convention in South Africa. The Commonwealth of the Kingdom of God transcends the nationalism and the racism that Gandhi sought to establish on behalf of the oppressed Indian. Unfortunately, Islam was not as accommodating, and the subcontinent was divided into Pakistan and India. If Gandhi truly admired the words and life of Jesus, He would have followed the only person to have risen from the dead, rather than seek to become a political player in the world that we live.
Many people claim to be Christian but instead they are like Gandhi, merely born into a culture without having any say as to who their parents would be. If Gandhi truly understood the words of Jesus, rather than pointing the finger at those who were like him—merely born into a culture without request—He would have acknowledged the highest authority as Savior.
  • For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life? (Matthew 16:26)
What is the point of being born only to die? What is the point of the suffering in the world? Every one dies. If people are born to die and then they suffer in between, how can the world experience true love?
Gandhi died at the hands of a nationalist. Gandhi’s killer apparently believed the man of peace was ceding too much wealth and too many rights to newly partitioned Pakistan.[1]
Lord Jesus Christ died because He came to provide people the means to possess eternal life. In this is love, not that we can love God, but rather that He has loved us and given His Son so that we might know true love—righteous love—and eternal life.
