God does not pursue us once we are perfect creatures; God pursues us while we are caught in the snares of our sinful nature. &
God cannot EVER love us more than HE LOVES US RIGHT NOW!
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners,
(Romans 5: 8-10 NASB)
Christ died for us.
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood,
we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”
