For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:17 KJV
“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.

SOmething we need to remember and be thankful for!
Absolutely concur, sir.
I keep wanting to call down fire from heaven and He keeps saying NO.
Thank you, Heavenly Father.
Ed, I’m sure you remember what Jesus said to the Sons of Thunder when they made the same request: “"You don't know what your hearts are like. For the Son of Man has not come to destroy men's lives but to save them" (Luke 9:55-56). I believe there’s a place for that, but - generally speaking- we’ far too eager to launch retribution. I’m guilty of that myself. 😎
