The back of this index card size (3″x5″) tract says:
John 3:16-17 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” Most people know about John 3:16-17, but ignore verses 18-19, which say, “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” Friend, don’t be deceived! Just because God “loves you”, doesn’t mean that He loves the way you’re living your life (if you are sinning) or that He won’t condemn you to Hell, for your sin. Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God has an unconditional love for you, in this way: He sent Jesus to die for YOU and He wants YOU to have everlasting life. God also has a HOLY HATRED, for sinners. Psalm 5:4-5 says, “For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You. The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; you hate all workers of iniquity.” Psalm 11:5-6 says, “The Lord tests the righteous, but the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates. Upon the wicked He will rain coals; fire and brimstone and a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.” The question is not whether or not God loves you. The question is whether or not God loves the way you are living your life, whether or not YOU LOVE GOD.
