RELIGION PERPETUATE THE LOVE OF GOD.

Paul famously prayed that we would know the measureless love of God, for it’s in knowing His love that we truly live.

But about 90% of Christians believe that God is against them because they are unable to keep the rules. In their mind they ask questions like, "how can a just God love a sinner like me?"  So they are struggling to keep the law to over sin for God love Them. They just don't get it that sin is what happens when we try to please God by keeping the rules.  They don't know that God introduced the law so that we might recognize the presence of sin and our need for a saviour. They just can't get it that sin thrives under law so the moment they start trying to live by law-based religion, sin is inflamed (Rms 5:20).

They try, they fail, they repent, and they resolve to do better next time. In other words, they make a law for themselves that declares, “I must do better.” By the strength of they resolve they succeed for a time but eventually they fail again. Sin wins and back to square zero.

Why all this ceaseless cycle of try, fail, retry, fail ( law keeping) when Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes?( ROM 10:4)

The Answer Is Very Simple:

We've bought into the lies of religion; the false doctrines and teaching that paints our loving-heavenly Father as an angry old man with a long bear seating on his throne waiting and wacting for us make mistake so he can strike us with punishment. No! That's not God, that's religion wrapped up in white cloth.

God’s love for you is unconstitutional and is experienced in knowing that He holds nothing against you regardless of your numerous mistakes and failures. His love is made manifest in our live only when we come to know that Daddy Lord is Love (1John 4:8) and Love  keeps no records of our wrongs ( Heb 8:12, 10: 17). Knowing and holding firm to this truth is the door to experiencing the love of God.

Religion has sold us a bunch of lies about the love of God. We have been told that God is envious, distrustful, needy, angry, distant, and that He keeps a record of wrongs. Don't fall for these lies because if you do it will de-humanize you. You’ll waste your life trying to force-fit your dreams and desires into a religious mold and you’ll be utterly miserable and will never experience your father's love. If you’re already miserable is because you haven't yet encounter God's love

Understand that you are God's beloved, the Apple of his eyes. God cannot live that without.

"How is that true, Albright"?

Look to the cross. The cross is the evidence of what am writing to you.
Have you not heard that, "He (God) that spared not his own Son (Jesus), but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things? (Roms:8:32)

"Albright, that's truth but I'm a sinner"

But what? Wakeup from mind set. Is a deception from the camp religion. A sinner is someone who doesn't believe Jesus. You are believers, a new born, a new creation created in the image of God. Wakeup to your identity. You are God's beloved that was why he died and redeemed you. You need evidence? Here is it:

But God commendeth his own love toward you, in that, while you were yet a sinner, Christ died for you. (Roms 5:8)

So, you see, if you heavenly could survive without the you, He will not come in form of fresh and blood, suffer and die just to redeem you to himself. As if that wasn't enough, He again promised never to leave you nor forsake you (Jos 1:5).

God did all these because you are his beloved and He wants you well. He want his love to flood your heart so can love millions of people who doesn't know He loves them through you.

So renew your mind, escape from the lies of religion. Get busy meditating on God's unconstitutional love for you. Look not at your weakness and shortcomings. Reflect day and night on his love for you.

Look at yourself in your mirror every morning and evening, beat your chest and shout "I am God's beloved, He can't live without me". After you do that begin to laugh and sing song of praise to him.
As you this you will experience a flame of joy flooding your heart, that joy is love of God  inside your heart. That kind of love comes as a result of knowing how much God loves us.

Hear me out, when I finally got it and knew that God was crazy about me for no other reason than that I was his son, I began to love others. So the love of God is experienced in knowing much you've been forgiven and in knowing that there's no condemnation in your heavenly father's home where you are currently dwelling.

Loving others comes naturally as a result of you knowing and experiencing God's love. God is love, so he that is within you will radiat  through to others without any effort from you.

Loving others is a fruit of encountering God's love for oneself.

You Are God's Beloved.

Shalom.
