God is love, but He also defines what love is. We don't have the license to define love according to our standards.
Francis ChanWhere it gets weird is that nowadays there are millions of people on this earth who call themselves followers of Jesus, but their lives look nothing like His, and they're not obeying the things that He called them to do.
Francis ChanMy existence was not random, nor was it an accident. God knew who He was creating, and He designed met for a specific work. [Ephesians 2:10]
Francis ChanIf God is truly the greatest good on this earth, would He be loving us if He didnโt draw us toward what is best for us (even if that happens to be Himself)? Doesnโt His courting, luring, pushing, calling and even โthreateningโ demonstrate His love? If He didnโt do all of that, wouldnโt we accuse Him of being unloving in the end, when all things are revealed?
