God of Love and So Much More
by Marijo Phelps Believe and obey were implied in the original language (for the word used for "believe") AND if we love we will have obedient responses We become "bond slaves" to Christ Jesus. (Doulos) and a slave is a slave when we are a slave to Christ it is our of our love for Him and our devotion to Him yes, He also calls us friends . HE is not the seeker friendly love-y dove-y savior portrayed in many churches yes, He seeks us, yes, He is friendly he will also judge us and there are many verses which say if you love me then. (feed my sheep, be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only etc) HE is love yes, HE also shows mercy, grace And he is judge 2 Timothy 4:1 [ Preach the Word ] I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Many facets to this person we call Lord Not sure if this helps but accountability is a part of His love think toddler. If mama doesn't hold the child accountable how loving is that? If mama sees the baby running full tile towards the street should she not do something to make that child realize the danger?
