God's "love" taught in such a warped, wrong way making God look like a "sweet God" who just gives you what you want and overlooks every sin.<br />Thanks for bringing in the balance.<br />For what it's worth, I posted a few posts on my blog on the Holiness of God. Feel free to check it out. http://aboundinginhope.com/2010/03/04/why-holiness-because-he-is-holy/ <br /><br />God bless!<br />MelindaMelindahttp://aboundinginhope.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118552671593227550.post-24339256382871867632010-04-03T05:45:15.956-07:002010-04-03T05:45:15.956-07:00Great scripture references (I particularly like th...Great scripture references (I particularly like the Hebrews 10:26-31 passage).<br /><br />If God is love without justice, then then He isn't holy and He isn't perfect. If he judges without love, then every human being on earth is doomed because of our own sinfulness. It truly is amazing how much our God loves us.<br /><br />Camden<br /><br />Romans 5:8<br /><br />But God shows His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.Camdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01470713412584682896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118552671593227550.post-28258756798669253952010-04-03T03:59:42.200-07:002010-04-03T03:59:42.200-07:00It's similar to a parent, the love their child...It's similar to a parent, the love their children so much that they will punish them so that they will grow to their full potential. <br /><br />BTW, I am still planning on doing a series on the role of women but I may wait for a while. I've been kinda busy and I don't' want to get sidetracked during the middle of it. Plus, I'm still thinking about the whole question. :)<br /><br />~Bethany~Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943221387935514859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118552671593227550.post-30184688746680386612010-04-02T22:39:09.643-07:002010-04-02T22:39:09.643-07:00I often marvel at the love of God.

As the song by Avalon says,<br /><br /><i>"I grew up in Sunday school<br />I memorized the golden rule<br />And how Jesus came to set the sinner free.<br /><br />I know the story inside out, <br />And I can tell you all about the path that led Him up to calvary.<br /><br />But ask me why He loves me, and I don't know what to say..."</i><br /><br />While the love of God is truly amazing, we must not become fooled into believing His love will somehow overshadow His justice and holiness. If God did not punish sin, then He would be condoning it and thus compromise His own holiness!Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05866858919682956165noreply@blogger.com
