Our heavenly Father gave His Son over to death, to be tortured and crucified for our salvation. In one of our Round Table men's meetings on Saturday I shared about a woman who loved her gay son so much that she prayed he would get AIDS and he did and, in the process, he was saved!
Everyone gasped that someone would pray for their son's death, but his salvation was more important to her than him living a wonderful life and end up in Hell! God did the same thing, "Think about it!" God's own Son died so that we could be saved! It was more important that Jesus die rather than live so we could live forever!
Another instance is where God asked Abraham to offer up his son, Isacc as a sacrifice for God. Abraham obeyed and placed him on the altar but as he took the knife to slay his son, God spoke and provided a sacrifice of a ram caught in a thicket. So, what's more important, living a great life on earth or inheriting eternal life in Heaven?
"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:17
