Give an example of how we live out this lie.
If we believe this, how is our life affected?Christians: True or false. God will love me more if I obey and do certain activities?
False.
God's Love is unconditional.
People live out this falsehood by trying to follow legalistic traditions.
MINISTER
S.F.C.U.Christians: True or false. God will love me more if I obey and do certain activities?
The love of God will depend on how you love yourself and how you love others. Obedience in spiritual realm is not following an order so you can be loved, obedience is more of a voluntary act because you want do it out of your love for God or for someone.
You do not do an act because of fear and because it was demanded or commanded. The word Command was used by God in the times of the Israelites when they were at war and building up a nation and like a soldier in the army his people must act according to what God saw fit.
Everything however that has life on earth has a certain and definite pattern of how each one should live or die. In fact, only humans are the creatures that existed on earth with freedom to choose how he wanted to live and spend his entire life whether to follow or disobey the guidelines that was set beforehand. Wherever or whatever you may fulfill in the end is your choice. Just remember that you are never alone and some if not most of your actions will definitely affect what is around you either good or not good.
What the church is telling us are only guides to what can be right and fruitful. If ever there is a lie, it was part of human greed for power and control but never that of God.
Many of those answering here are making the mistake of taking the viewpoint of the elder brother in the parable of the Prodigal Son. He thought that your assertion was true. He felt as though his work was ';slaving'; away in hopes of meriting favor with the father. The forgiven younger brother, however, desired to serve his father out of love %26amp; thanksgiving for what the father had already done for him. This is the difference between legalistic works %26amp; gospel works.
False. God will love you regardless.
It is his love that draws men to him.
Most men reject, refuse his love for the love of sin. They are affraid they will have to give up all the sinful little pleasures of the flesh.
God sustains the life of a man the entire time the man walks upon the face of the earth.
The devil is always on the prowl trying to destroy the man.
It is God's love that sustains us and protects us. He is always calling out to us to come home to him through salvation provided through his only begotten Son.
True.
God has deep affection for those that obey him and do his will. Although He is also kind to those, like yourself, that either to not believe he exists or hate him, by letting them enjoy his blessing such as sunshine, air and food etc. He allows them also to have families even though He knows they will teach their families to hate and/or ignore him.
However, he has no contact with them in that they are not spiritually alive to him. On the other hand, those that want to know him are blessed with a precious relationship with him that brings deep joy and satisfaction. They have a sense of purpose and a hope for the future. He listens to their prayers and never fails to answer them. He counts them as his children and they feel his love everyday.
I am blessed to be one of his children and can never find the words to express how grateful and happy I am for the privilege.
Hope that answered your question.
God already loves from before we were born! He loves us so completely, to full capacity! God cannot possibly love us anymore!
When we live for His purpose, we naturally listen and wish to obey, regardless. We want to always do what is most pleasing unto Him!
We do not look for reciprocation! It comes, just the same! :D
False!
It is how your heart is before God that is truly important. If you claim to love God yet hate your fellow man or woman you are denying God. Because He has told us to love one another.
What would these 'certain activities' be? Jesus commanded that we should eat bread and take the cup yet many are denied the opportunity by their church. who say it is only for the chosen ones, (and they are expiring fast).
Jesus said, insomuch as you have done it unto these you have done it unto me. What they had done was give genuine help to those with needs, whether in prison or whatever.
God loves us if we are prepared to obey Him, just as His son totally obeyed to the end. God's gift through His grace is everlasting life in His kingdom.
False. because God's love is unchangeable. there is nothing we can do more or do less to change the way God loves us. His love toward us is unconditional love so it will not change. if his love toward us increase because we did good, that means His love is conditional and it will cause a lot of domino effect in our lives.
False, and I choose not to live out that lie. If I believed it then mine would be just like any other religion, doing backflips to please a deity, and forgetting about the father/daughter relationship I am blessed to have with him.
false- God loved us before we loved Him. That is why He sent Jesus to the Cross, so that we could have a personal relationship with Him, and then obey Him out of love for Him, We cannot do anything that will make God love us any more or any less.
no, he will never love your more or less than how much he loves you right now.
he does not need you to do things for him. what can you give to a being who has everything? the only thing you can give to him is the thing that he gave to you, your will.
False. His love for us it consistantly the same in all things. Obedience just opens up the doors for His blessings.
Disobedience closes the doors.
False. However, a Christian is still expected to obey God.
';If you love Me, keep my commandments.'; - Jesus Christ
False - God loves everyone equally.
FALSE. SOMETHING THAT DOSEN'T EXIST CANNOT LOVE
False.For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son etc-
By living by someones idea of salvation instead of what the Word says.
Our lives can be ruined by this lie.
False, The bible says that Gods love for us never changes, He cant love us any more or any less than he already does.
false, god loves everyone equally
False....God already loves you more than you could possibly know. You don't have to earn love from God.
Good deeds are adorable by God
false, Love is. There is no degree.
We can't win brownie points with God.
False...
If there is a God, he is supposed to love everyone the same.
If there is no God, why worry about it?
I am always a little interested in this, if God is a recent idea, like from the Romans in the crusades, then what happened to all those people who didn't know there was a God? Did they go to Hell? Heaven? Sleep?
