God is love – we sing it, preach it and powerfully proclaim it, but for some people the question remains: ‘Does God really love me?’
The unequivocal answer is an emphatic ‘YES!’ answers Dr Patrick Johnson, a long-serving minister of the Gospel well-versed in Scripture, who has also been on his own faith journey and taken a long, hard look at this vital question for himself.
The question is, ‘What is God really like?’ Do the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14 show Him to be an angry, vengeful God, a God to be scared of? Or do they rather portray a God we can run to, a God who longs to protect us and save us . . . a God we can trust?
This question is of crucial significance, and the correct answer to it will have eternal ramifications for your own life.
