Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Absolutely Yes! All scripture does have application to our personal lives today. This passage application to today is: God doesn't will that any should perish but sent His Son to Earth in the Flesh, His name is Jesus Christ. He died for us, for our sins, to purchase our forgiveness from God so that we would not have to pay the payment required of our sins by a Holy God. God has thoughts of peace towards us, wanting us to have eternal life, to be free of these bodies of sin that we're born into; that wither and die and become diseased. That is why he made the provision: Jesus Christ as The Son of God offering His life willingly for us, to suffer the wrath of God for our sins in our place, that we might live by trusting Him as our Lord and Saviour. What more could He do to show His love for us than what He did. But love, to have its way, must not only be offered (which God did -John 3:16), but it must also be received. Which is what is up to us; to receive Gods love and His loving provision He made for us that we might be with Him for all eternity or to reject it. The consequence of rejecting this gift of Gods love towards us is not God wanting to punish us for refusing His love, the consequence is rather an unavoidable consequence of our action that God Himself cannot rectify Because. while He certainly is a merciful and loving God, as evidenced by Christ's self sacrificial love for us in dying for us, God is also a Just, Holy, and Righteous God, that cannot allow man in his fallen sinful state to stand and abide in His Prescense. Its Gods nature, its unchangeable. God is Holy and Righteous, He cannot change that, its who He is, and as such cannot allow sinful man in His presence You can either, by receiving Christ, allow the payment for your sin be made to a Holy and Just God by Christ, by what He did, or you can reject that, but if you do so, then it means that you will pay for that yourself.
