Is telling someone "Jesus loves you" a true statement?

[JLB]

Are we not deceiving a lost person by telling them Jesus loves them?

No.

However Jesus loves you is not the Gospel.

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Out of so many other scriptures that speak of the love of Jesus I use only these two of how God's mercy and grace show's the love that God has for us even though many have not yet come to know that love. We are all sinners saved by grace through having faith in Christ Jesus who through His love for all of us laid down His own life that we can have eternal life with Jesus. If we would just humble ourselves and go before the throne of God's grace and receive the greatest love we will ever know as all God wants is that we love Him and love and pray for others.

Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

1Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

"IF"

No person of the world is excluded from the love of the Lord God. But if a sinner hears Jesus loves you their whole life and never believes or repents. What will they hear at judgement? Are we not deceiving a lost person by telling them Jesus loves them?

There is nothing wrong with telling another Jesus loves them, but if there is no followup explaining why He does then it falls on deaf ears as nothing is learned.

Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Rom 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

No.

However Jesus loves you is not the Gospel.

But it is the theme of the Gospel message.

But it is the theme of the Gospel message.

Yes ma’am. I agree.

 

[electedbyHim]

Agree, but to many present the gospel with out telling people about their sin and damnation.

 

[Whatever]

But it is the theme of the Gospel message.

I don't think so. The theme is "you have sinned against a holy God and He has said that the soul that sins shall die. The good news is that God sent His Son to pay the penalty for your sins and now you can escape that punishment." But that statement needs to be further explained to the person.

Here is John the Baptist's gospel:
Luke 3:7 Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

If it wasn't for the love of God we would not of had a redeeming Savior and we would have all perished. Jesus is the good news of the Gospel of God's saving grace.
