Some people falsely believe that if God loves them, then that is enough to secure their way to heaven. Just because someone loves you, doesn’t mean they can override your free will. God’s love will not prevent someone from going to hell. A parent may deeply love their adult child but that child can choose…
What does the Bible mean by stating we are to seek the kingdom of God? What does the kingdom consist of? The Kingdom of God, also referred to as the Kingdom of Heaven, includes sharing the gospel or good news about salvation through Jesus Christ.
