There are so many "Christians" who do not want to accept that Jesus tells us we are either in or out (Luke 14:25-34). The grace of God is taken for granted, used and abused, shamed, spit on, and treated like dirt, unappreciated and disregarded (Hebrews 6:6). Of course, this is looked over in exchanged for sports, hobbies, and worldiness altogether (1 John 2:15-17, James 4:1-5, James 1:27). God loved us so much that He wrapped Himself in flesh, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again to complete His work that we may have redemption, salvation, eternal life (Hebrews 5:8-9). Today, the truth of the Bible is God's love written to us. He is the Truth and it is the truth that sets us free (John 8:31-36). The truth of the reality concerning people who call themselves "Christians" is that they cannot handle the truth.
The truth of God's love for us is this: as long as we are His, we have what He has. We are fellowheirs (Ephesians 3:6, Ephesians 2:13-21), we are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus is our Chief Cornerstone and so much more. We have what we ask for concerning His will for our lives. We have protection, we have blessings, we have provision, we have love, peace, joy, and life in abundance with Him being our Good Shepard, the Good Shepard of our lives (John 10:1-17).
:::::BUT THE MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES "CHRISTIANS":::::
:::::IS IN THE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST THE LORD HIMSELF (Matthew 7:13-23, Luke 9:62):::::
So in answering the question, "does Jesus really love you?"...why yes He does! And that's why He tells you the truth, written in His word for you to reference every moment of every second of every day. Hell was not prepared for man (Matthew 25:41), but men will spend eternity there (Revelation 20:10-15, Revelation 21:27). Men who reject Him everyday with the choices they make, the gods they serve, the idols they worship, the time they give to other people, places and things over Him, you get His drift? That's the truth and where there is love, there is truth.
