    Jesus froght suffer and die, for all humanity. Not for some , but for everyone. That mean God love us so much , that he gave his only begotten son for us. The first Adam wasn't strong enough , spiritually , Jesus is all we need, than, now and forever. Make sure you praise and glorify him. He's worthy to be praise.

    Jim,

    Yes, Jesus is deserving of praise. You do well to praise Him and realize that He is all you need. I agree that He died for all. There are many places in scripture that show that Christ shed His blood for all and that salvation is offered to all who will receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. You quoted Part of John 3:16, but here are a few other verses that agree with what you are saying: 1 Timothy 4:10, 1 John 4:14, 1 John 2:2, John 1:29, John 4:42, Hebrews 10:10, Romans 6:10, Hebrews 9:26, Hebrews 9:12.

    So you are correct in saying that Jesus suffered and died for all, but unfortunately not all will receive Him. From what you are saying, I can assume that you've received Christ. Continue to praise Him and always keep Him first in your heart and life. God bless!

    Jim, if Jesus died for ALL then why did he speak in parables to hide the gospel from some?

    Matthew Chapter 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

    11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is NOT GIVEN not given.

    12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

    Malachi 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

    God hated Esau (Yes I know they want to CONvince us this means love less)

    Obadiah 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.

    Malachi 1:4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever. indignation is extreme hatred.

    ...The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.... how long is for ever?

    The Lord does not love Esau / Edom and King Herod was of this lineage per Jewish historian Josephus.

    If you do not know the sin of Esau I suggest you look into his marriage into the Hittite canaanite lineage.
