I don't love God
"I don’t
love God.
Okay.
Luke 14:
I went to Sunday school as a kid for ten years, I was made to go until I was 15, by orders per my mom.
Though I have made mistakes since then, and often failed mightily, there always seems to be a path back to God.
So, it’s okay to just surrender to God because you know He always wins the war.
1 John 3:
How can I go to heaven if I don’t love God?"
Okay.
Here is a parable Jesus spoke, likely meant for people who don't love God:
Luke 14:
31
Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king.
Won’t
he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand
men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
32
If
he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a
long way off and will ask for terms of peace."
.
Jesus
spoke about making peace with an enemy.
I believe this scripture is intended for people who don't love God, but believe He exists, and want to make peace with Him.
.
My background:
I
didn’t love God and I didn't feel loved by God, when I first surrendered to Christ.
And that’s
what it was...a surrender, simply because I saw that God is more
powerful than I,
and He offered eternal life that no one else can take away.
I went to Sunday school as a kid for ten years, I was made to go until I was 15, by orders per my mom.
At
15, I wanted out of it so I could do other things on Sunday
morning.
As a young adult, I tried to be a macho stud-muffin of the
1970s.
While I was too bashful to do all the damage I wanted to
do, I did enough wrong to know I wasn’t good enough to go to
Heaven.
I came to God as
a captive, not understanding that I would also become his adopted child.
I
surrendered to him on the promise of amnesty, and purposed to do my
best, from day-to-day.
Though I have made mistakes since then, and often failed mightily, there always seems to be a path back to God.
This in itself shows me that the true God is capable of love, even when I’m not always sure what God's love is,
though I believe I feel love toward my family.
So, it’s okay to just surrender to God because you know He always wins the war.
In
time,
some-how,
some-way,
God will enable you to understand what real
love is, and that He loves you.
The verse below is our promise about the unending relationship we can have with God:
1 John 3:
2 "Dear
friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be
has not yet been made known.
But we know that when Christ
appears, we
shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
3 All
who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure."
