Jesus teaching on the Kingdom used the phrase, HOW MUCH MORE WILL YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN...
In other words, we know our hearts. Our hearts are pretty weak and evil compared to the Heart of God. He is the God of How Much More...
So, next time you think of how God sees you, or your situation, think of this: If you are a father to a child and your child needed something, you would do what you could to provide.. How much more will your Heavenly Father love and care for you than the way you do for your earthly children.
He really does love you... it is a Father's Heart. A heart called, how much more.

I often ponder this after years of study. I still stumble on this... Hebrews 12
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6
because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[a]
7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? 8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! 10 They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13 “Make level paths for your feet,”[b] so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
Jesus himself said Aramaic translation -many are called most are not chosen....why use the children son analogy when the warnings in romans thessalonians jude and yes even the addres to the seven churches make it graphically clear of eternal penalties....even Jesus said take heed how you build better to not start than start and not finish..I think perhaps with all the knowledge granted him new that better than any man other than Jesus work out your salvation in fear and trembling in the original language several different words are used for fear in the new testament when Christians are addressed....any thoughts
