Glad you are doing well it's always good to hear of good things. I am doing extremely well, my walk is growing and my fire is burning so life is great, thanks for asking. Before I give my views on anything more let me remind you, that they are just that my views. There are only a few things I know for certain, God is real and He loves us. Most everything else is just my thought on an issue, and when dealing with the unfathomable knowledge of spiritual matter there is bound to be different views. My intentions of our communication is to bring you knowledge of the Almighty God, to the best of my ability, so that a seed may be planted. Now I know I cannot save you or even talk you in to being saved, that's a job only God can do. All I can do and am trying to do is to show you His glory and pray that the seed of wisdom grows. [ Wisdom is more valuable than gold and crystal. It cannot be purchased with jewels mounted in fine gold] job 28:17 I don't think you will argue that even if you argue the source (SF).
You can't test love, it's a unconditional bond of affection. So test is not the word I would use, it's more of a period of time you have to build a relationship with you own personal Father and Savior.
I had trouble grasping the ideal of such a saving transformation when I was first growing closer to Him, in truth I still don't truly grasp it completely. His Grace and forgiveness is out of this world, Christ forgave the ones torturing Him, as it was happening. I don't know about you but I find it hard to forgive someone as they are wronging me, even a small wrong, like yelling at me or something stupid like that. Now I do try to follow The Model and forgive them and love the Christ in them, the smaller the wrong the less time it takes me to forgive (I am working forgiving faster and faster). [But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!] Matthew 5:44 But God is perfect and needs no time to forgive, so as we are spitting in His face He loves us. He loves all of us the same no matter what we do He loves us as much yesterday as He will tomorrow. He loves a killer as much as a protector, He loves you as much as He loves His own son who He sent to die for you, even if you were the only one ever to walk this earth Jesus would have died for your sins. See He wants all of His blessed children to go to heaven that's why He keeps pulling us towards Him.
To clarify my answer when that wretch of a man does humbly Himself before the Son, and truly let God change His life, than He will be welcome in to Heaven. To full heartily accept Jesus as your savior, you are making a covenant with God Himself that not only will you repent of your sins, but you are going under new management, the management of God rather than earthly things. And that transformation is a powerful and holy one, a truly undesirable life changing experience, and no one can judge someone's heart but Him. I do know however that you are never too far away from God for Him to be able to save you. A person is never without hope of salvation, take Saul for example a persecutor and killer of Christian became Paul the apostle. I think that testifies beautifully How much God can change someone. (For more on Saul/Paul change check your local bible or go to www.Biblegateway.com than search For Acts chapter 9.
