(Matthew 25:32 NIV) All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
True love requires limits. Without limits love cannot be the freedom that God intended. It becomes license to do whatever the heart of man desires. The heart of man is an evil deceitful thing that always defaults to sin when left to itself.
Just as children must be given loving limits so we adults require loving limits as well. We establish these limits out of our love and hope to see our children grow into healthy and productive adult lifestyles. There are some children who refuse to respond properly to the loving limits we set and those children must be disciplined in the hope that they will learn not to do wrong.
Even then some children refuse to respond to loving correction. In the hope of salvaging some good from an impossibly bad situation parents must opt to help the other children through making the rebellious child an example.
God has made it clear in his word that there will be judgment for each of us and that we will be dealt with accordingly. Life then can be considered to be a sort of spiritual educational facility that is designed to prepare us for eternal living in God’s presence. Those of us who graduate into heaven have learned the basic material to equip us. Those who do not learn will be relegated to an eternal death.
Christians may disagree on the details of judgment and punishment, the existence of hell and eternal punishment. There can be no doubt, however, that a judgment and punishment of some type takes place. This means that love is not limitless in its application.
Love is the most precious gift that God has and it has been freely given to us. If we choose to trample on that intimate offering there is nothing else that can be given to replace it. Once you have received the best and the finest you are lost. God is love. To reject his love is to reject him. Can we expect to reject God and not be rejected by God? We may but it is an unrealistic expectation.
I think we can safely say that God has the purest love in the universe. Certainly no human can hope to attain his capacity for love or to match his quality of love. God begins with the concept that we are all lovable. It is only our unloving actions that earn us the right to be rejected. Make no mistake. God is loving, patient, tolerant, and longsuffering. He loves each of us so much that he is willing to reach out to us again and again. God will allow us to reject him though.
(Matthew 25:41 NIV) “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
