Because I am faithful to God to carry out the ensign assignment of “warning and watchman” to which He called me, many assume that I do not know and understand the purpose of Jesus’s sacrifice of LOVE. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Jesus told him, " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. (John 14:6, NLT)
If anyone hears me and doesn't obey me, I am not his judge—for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. (John 12:47)
Therefore,
For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9, NLT)
Fact, Jesus came to save the world. But, the world rejected His free offering; choosing instead, satan’s leadership, by default. For as it is written:
But first must He suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. (Luke 17:25)
Thus, Jesus said:
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. (John 14:30, NKJV)
So then,
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isaiah 53:3)
BUT GOD, would not suffer that man would be lost forever, therefore, sinners (“ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”) must repent:
The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise to return, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish, so he is giving more time for EVERYONE to REPENT. (2 Peter 3:9, NLT)
Therefore,
If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (John 14:15-16)
What a beautiful thing! When we love Jesus, and obey His command to repent and be baptized for the remission of sin, we receive the ultimate gift; the one who enables us to live a life of truth, set free from sin indeed:
As Paul encouraged, we are to enjoy our lives here on earth to the fullest; howbeit, when Jesus spoke of life more abundantly, He spoke first in terms of things eternal. To “not perish” doesn’t mean that we will never die in the flesh, it means that our souls will not be lost to sin, nor will we ever die in the Spirit.
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. (John 10:27-28, NLT)
Unless we truly love the Lord, the Holy Spirit cannot dwell in us.
LOVE does no wrong to anyone, so love satisfies all of God's requirements. (Romans 13:10, NLT)
*God's requirements as it relates to the "Laws of Moses" and the blood sacrifice of animals.
To this very day, God still speaks warning, through His messengers, the prophets – whom Jesus vowed to send forth throughout every generation. Yet, as Christ predicted, some cities, in thinking they are doing God’s will, will torment and persecute His servants for speaking His Word, particularly the word of prophecy:
"O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand. (Jeremiah 18:6, NLT)
Usually, when God speaks, through His prophets, He is speaking to a city (Daughter), nation (Mother), or church (Wife), and/or their respective leaders. God reserves the right to renovate His properties, as He sees fit. Howbeit, Jesus will not come in and EAT with us, individually, unless He is welcomed in through our repentant hearts:
"Look! Here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear me calling and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal as friends." (Revelation 3:20, NLT)
SUMMARY:
Jesus’s sacrifice on Calvary was not to save our cities, but that our souls might be saved unto eternal life. He didn’t even die that our earthly lives would be spared, for all must give up the ghost.
For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake will find it [that is, life with Me for all eternity]. (Matthew 16:25, AMP)

HARDEN NOT YOUR HEART. REPENT!
Contextual Completeness of Jesus’s Assignment:
If anyone hears me and doesn't obey me, I am not his judge—for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject Me and My message will be judged at the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. (John 12:47-48, NLT)
