1 | God's love not important in daily life | Rom 12:12 | StrongCare | 7940 | ||
What difference does God's "love" make in everyday living? I often hear people trying to comfort others by reminding them that God "loves" them. That is surely crucial when it comes to salvation, since it was God's love that sent Jesus and it is Jesus' sacrifice that saves from hell. That said, the reality of God's "love" is so different from the romantic notions that most have, that God's "love" is more scary than comforting. For instance, God loves the world (jn 3:16) but some will be condemned to hell. God loved Job but allowed him to lose family, possessions and health. God loved Jesus but planned for Him a life of persecution, humiliation and death by torture. God "loves" the Christians in Sudan, but they are being killed, raped, tortured and sold into slavery. Since God's love is not at all incompatible with our suffering, why bring it up as if it mattered? |
