Good morning Mark,
God who is the embodiment of unconconditional love
You got that right. :o)
I believe that most people make things way too difficult. This is one of those things. I think that if you were to really look at your life, the highest and noblest actions that you have undertaken, are undertaken with love and compassion in mind. At least that is how it is for me. With that in mind, I expect God to follow that path in ways far greater than I am able.
I, too believe that most make it way too difficult. That, IMO is the very reason God made it very simple for us to approach Him. ALL we have to do is have faith and believe.Faith in what you ask? :o)
And you say above that the highest actions that you have undertaken are taken with love and compassion and you EXPECT God to follow YOUR path??? My friend, where do you think the inner workings of yourself to have any "love and compassion" come from?? They are not from you. THEY ARE FROM GOD!! He gave them to you. Remember HE is the creator, we ARE the created!!
And LOVE and COMPASSION??? Look at this:
(Rom 5:6-8 NIV) You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark,.......how much love and compassion do you want???? It is so simple. Christ died for US!! It is a free gift God is offering to know that!! What could be simpler?? Could your way of "working" your way to heaven eventually be easier. No, because it is manmade.
I can think of no more precious gift that the life of a God who loves us, can you?
God Bless,
