Do you think you would survive if God did not have sympathy for you?

God has already sympathized with man and his faults. He did that when He gave His life on the cross to save mankind. God is not without compassion for all mankind. Will He accept sin? the answer is- No. He cannot even look upon sin because He is Holy. He came into the world in the form of a man and bore all of our sins, and that is why we do not have to sin. That day at cavalry 2000 years ago, more sympathy was shown for mankind than any of us deserve.

When we realize who God is and what He has done for us there will no longer be any doubt as to His compassion for man. God only wants the very best for all of us. Once God saw that His beautiful creation had made a choice of free will to disobey Him He was sad. He knew from the first time back in the Garden of Eden when Adam chose to be disobedient He Would give man yet another chance. He is always willing to forgive when you repent of your faults/sins. As much as God loves us He will not force anyone to come to Him it must be of your own choosing.

God will forgive but He will not under no circumstances accept sin which is mans faults. If by the question can God sympathize with man faults you mean will He look the other way and forget about sin? The answer is no, He will not allow sin to go unpunished. The scripture reads that the wages of sin is death in the lake of fire. But the free gift of God is eternal life. Eternal life in a garden of paradise-can you imagine living forever there.

Can God sympathize with mans faults? I think the real question should be can man appreciate the mercy and grace that God has shown and the gift of eternal life He has provided. Once we began to understand just how much God loves us, then we will know where His sympathy lies. When we accept that He loves us we will praise Him like the angels day and night.

Finally, I recall the movie the passion of Christ I can't help but cry every time I watch that movie because it is so vivid. Then I realize that it does not come close the true pain, suffering, love and compassion that were sacrificed for me. Once again why did He do what He did- because of love and compassion for man and His faults? In return what has God asked us to do what price do any of us have to pay for all the grace and mercy we have been given.
