Mark (from Steve),
We don't have to be perfect and sinless to be loved by God, he loves us all, regardless of our sin.
But the bigger issue that I want to address is this, why is submission to God such a problem to you? You submit to things daily, which can't hold a candle to Almighty God, so why can't you to God? It's your pride, that's why! And until you can fix your pride problem, you won't be able to submit to God.
God does not want you to have blind loyalty to him. He wants you to ask him for the truth with you fully wanting to accept it. Is that much to ask? He will then prove to you with his answer what the truth is. You will be far from blind if you accept the truth. In fact it will be the surest thing you'll ever know.
God Bless You,
Steve |
