A Map To God's Infinite Love...

Anyone can make a claim; for example, I can claim to fly but would you believe my claim to fly? Very doubtful, however if you saw me fly then you would probably believe my claim that I could fly. Christian denominations and other worldly religions are much like this statement; as they claim to be more with God than they actually are. In most cases they make themselves less with God by representing their views and interpretations as giving to them by God thereby making themselves an authority of God here on earth. If we do not believe exactly as they do we are considered;

• unbelievers
  
• infidels
• back sliders
• or just plain stupid
  

Jesus had to come in the flesh to show God's love for us and to give a working example of what that love actually looks like. The problem is that we love conditionally and God loves unconditionally. We don't understand that there's nothing we do, that could make God love us more than He already does. Jesus came to show us how much God loves us by pursuing us with his love and message of eternal hope. God's love is full of compassion and understanding for the lost. Religiosity is full of condemnation and disdain for the lost. God loves the unlovable. Religiosity loves itself, it is full of immure rules and regulations, many that are unreachable.

If we don't get God's love all we need do is ask and keep asking until the day the light bulb goes off or until we are filled with God's love. Perhaps there is a map, a guide something that tells us which way to go; what we should do. Ya it's called the bible and here's a cold hard fact; "nobody can read it for you, you must read it yourself".

God is love and we love because he first loved us, wow that sounds like a biblical reference from 1John 4:19.

Consider also; Ephesians 2:8-9

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

Consider that faith is a gift from God given to all, then consider this passage; 2Peter 1:5-7

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

Add to your FAITH, virtue...

Add to your VIRTUE, knowledge...

Add to your KNOWLEDGE, self-control...

Add to your SELF-CONTROL, perseverance...

Add to your PERSEVERANCE, godliness...

Add to your GODLINESS, brotherly kindness...

Add to your BROTHERLY KINDNESS, LOVE...

Wow that looks like a map to me and it spells it out plain as day too.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
