Malachi 1:2\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cIs not Esau Jacob’s brother?\u201d declares the Lord. \u201cYet I have loved Jacob but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert.\u201d If Edom says, \u201cWe are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins,\u201d the Lord of hosts says, \u201cThey may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called \u2018the wicked country,\u2019 and \u2018the people with whom the Lord is angry forever.\u2019\u201d Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, \u201cGreat is the Lord beyond the border of Israel!\u201d<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 7:6-8<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cFor you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth\u00a0\u00a0It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the LORD set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples,\u00a0\u00a0but it is because the LORD loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 31:3<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0the LORD appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We see the love of God and the heart of God.\u00a0 <\/span>To fall under the hate of God is dreadful.\u00a0 <\/span>On earth being hated by God comes with worry, anxiousness, calamity, always seeking but never finding satisfaction in self, others, or things.\u00a0 <\/span>Things you plan will come to nothing even after you have accomplished them.\u00a0 <\/span>The end will be apart from God and in this whatever your plans you have or completed will lose all satisfaction.\u00a0 <\/span>To be loved by God and to seek and desire Him we find satisfaction the world can never fulfill.\u00a0 <\/span>To be loved by God gives us joy in this world and peace and hope in the world to come. \u00a0 <\/span>Eternity awaits each of us.\u00a0 <\/span>Few will end up in heaven and many will end up in hell.\u00a0 <\/span>The choice to be loved by God and to trust Jesus Christ for this love is clear.\u00a0 <\/span>To trust Jesus is to love Him, rely on Him, cling to Him, and faithfully follow and obey Him.\u00a0 <\/span>This is a choice and intentional choice.\u00a0 <\/span>Likewise to reject Him is to deny God\u2019s love and in this rejection, there is only God\u2019s hate, wrath, anger, judgment, and His rejection of you.\u00a0 <\/span>Who wants to be hated by God?\u00a0 <\/span>However, many do this by rejecting His Son, Jesus Christ, the redeemer, and the savior.\u00a0 <\/span>There are consequences for rejecting God and blessings of the love of God for trusting Jesus Christ. \u00a0 <\/span>Delaying this choice is living in continued rejection of His love.\u00a0 <\/span>Choosing to trust Jesus Christ is to immediately be in and under God\u2019s love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
