I want to know more about God’s love and especially how God reacts when we sin.
I believe this can only be known through meditation. Maybe you should sit in an empty church and pounder this. So many difficult answers come through meditation!I want to know more about God’s love and especially how God reacts when we sin.
Just look at the cross. I mean really look at it. Think about it. God loves you so intensely. I always say that God doesn’t just love you; He is in love with you. It’s real, personnal, overflowing emotional love. Nothing in the world is like God’s love. He is a reckless lover. When we sin it grieves Him to the point of death. In the garden of Gethsemene, Jesus said,“My soul is sorrowful, even unto death.” He sweat blood because of the geatness of His agony at considering our sins. It’s a Divine Romance and our God is pursuing us. The Heart of Christ is longing for us. His greatest pain is when we turn away.I want to know more about God’s love and especially how God reacts when we sin.
Hmmm…I agree with Robert, and also read the Gospels and see how Jesus reacts to people who sin!like the Prodigal Son or the sinful woman with the perfume…
That helped.I heard the best confession is made when the person has great contrition for their sins but also great trust in God’s mercy. If we distrust, we would receive less. Distrust hurts Jesus even more than our sins do.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39I want to know more about God’s love and especially how God reacts when we sin.
