Quis_UtDeus

Guest
Is there a theological term or phrase for a situation where someone believes in God but their relationship to God is akin to “Okay I do X for God and go to church so that God will do good things like give me financial a good standing, make me feel good when I’m sad, or change this particular quality about my wife?” which is not a genuine love or anything.

Do we call that anything?

There really isn’t a technical term for it. This would be described by authors as an “imperfect love” for God.
