The Nature of Love

Lu 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Gospel is literally Good News, however can it be good news for some and not for all?

I say no, it cannot.

Why not?

I believe it CANNOT be good news for only some, because of the nature of love and the law of love!

The nature of love is such that those who love become vulnerable to hurt. The more you love, the more vulnerable you become. If a person has no love for his neighbor, then he does not suffer when his neighbor experiences calamity, he may even rejoice in it. If however, the person has great love, say for a cherished daughter, and she is subjected to cruel injury, pain and suffering, the one who loves this girl experiences a high level of suffering, perhaps even higher than if they themselves were the one who had experienced the calamity. In the case of a deep love such as this, if one wanted to be most cruel to another he might, cause injury to his enemy’s loved one rather than directly injure the enemy himself, knowing that this would inflict more suffering than if he were to cause direct injury on the enemy himself.

Yet, God commands all His people to love not only their family and friends, but also their neighbor and even their enemies! If He intends to send many, some, or even one of these now loved by His true followers to the horrors of unending torment, unending agony and suffering, as some teach, then it follows that He intends to cause the cruelest injury to those who love Him and those He loves. To His obedient ones.

The Law of Love is such that love always desires good for those who are loved and never ultimate ill. Injury that brings improvement is acceptable, but there is no place for injury that brings no improvement.

Ro 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

How can Jesus birth be good news of Great Joy which shall be to ALL people, if it involves eternal damnation for anyone? This would be horrid news for anyone who truly loves any who are condemned and all the truest, most obedient followers of Jesus would be hurt the most.
No not the most, for Jesus Himself would be hurt the most, for no one has greater love for sinners.

1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners...

1Jo 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
