One of my co-workers said - out of the blue - to me on Monday, "I was thinking over the weekend, I don't think that a loving God would send people to hell. I've grown up thinking that there is a hell. But now I don't think that God is like that."
I just said that God created us for choice and wants us to choose Him. I explained that Hell is the eternal destination for people who knowingly didn't choose to trust in Jesus. I don't think that God sends babies who haven't been baptized in a certain church to hell. I believe that God knows all hearts and acknowledges (and allows) the free choices that His creatures make. He doesn't want robots that love Him - He wants people to freely choose Him, trust Him, and follow Him.
I'm so glad that God is gracious and just. What a combination of love and holiness is found in Jesus! I serve a God that is so worthy of praise and thanksgiving!
