Manning about the only defining question for god to extend his grace to you.

[…] I'm now utterly convinced that on the judgment day the voice of Jesus is going to ask you one question, and only one question. “Did you believe that I love you? That I desired you? That I waited for you day after day? That I longed to here the sound of your voice.” The real believers will answer “Yes Jesus, I believed in your love and I tried to shape my life in a response to it.” […] Brennan Manning preaching at Woodcrest Columbia Campus. ¹⁾

With all the wrong turns that you made in your past […] Do you really believe that Jesus Christ loves you, […] without regret […] Brennan Manning in a sermon at Kingdom Works 1999 ²⁾
