Has "does God love you" replaced "are you going to Hell?"

A new catch phrase for many Christians today is "God loves you".  We say that God has sent His one and only Son to die on the cross just for you!  What an amazing new way to evangelize.  Now we can ask people "does God love you?"  If they do not know the love of God we then have an opportunity to tell them about God's amazing love.  But, has love just merely replaced asking people whether they are going to Hell?  I believe it has, and I believe that we are beginning to going from one extreme to the next.

I personally was not around during the era of the evangelism techniques of the early 1900's.  But, reading Christian history, many evangelistic techniques were to ask people whether they believed in heaven or hell and then to follow up with the big question of which do they see themselves going.  What a way to evangelize!  People are based whether or not they are living a good moral life.  Their relationship with God was not the more important question to ask.
It seems however, that today we seem to ask the question whether people have a relationship with God.  We ask whether they know God's love and know the price that God paid by sending His Son to the earth to die for our sins.  This time it is not based on how they live, but whether they have heard the good news and know they can have a relationship with Him.
Within these two different extremes of thought there is a theological ("study of God") difference.  The going to heller's think of God as the Sovereign, Almighty, Holy Divine Being that will judge us if we do not live a good life.  Some say that God will choose whether you go to heaven or whether we have the freedom to.  But, the main concern is if you want to punch your ticket to heaven, you better turn your life around and start acting right.
The other side sees God as an all loving all personal God.  God wants to have a personal relationship with you and He came down to earth in the form of a man to have that relationship.  This is where God is believed to have "not considered equality with God...and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself..." (Phil. 2:6, 8).  Jesus can relate to us, he shows us love and shows us how to love God and others.
Both of these are important to evangelism and is why I am writing this blog.  It seems that we have moved from one extreme to the next.  Yes, God is an all Sovereign being, but He is also all loving and relational.  God will love us because He created us and wants to have a relationship with us.  However, God will judge us for living an immoral life of idolatry and sin.
If evangelism is to bring people to a relationship with God, then it needs to focus on both of these extremes and bring them together giving balance to each.  The church has tended to walk away from other to fend for themselves when they converted from Hell to Heaven, and they do the same when the speak love.  Let evangelism be about loving others and helping them to see that heaven is not about getting your ticket punched for doing good works, nor is it based only on God's love, but it is about accepting God's love in our lives and then living that out.  We need people that are willing to walk others through that process to follow the example of Christ's life on earth and to have a relationship with God.
