That’s why I think love does not work to bring people together or to use it at a tool to combat evil. The word love is mainly used to worship something or some one.
We use it to express our uppermost feelings of desire to want something or someone.
Because love is so easily given and taken away, it cannot be a good thing to trust or rely upon when needed in a situation like Gods word or commands. When God gives us a law to follow and by that law he means to respect it not to love it, for love is an emotion that can get in the way of truth and blind the facts that rely upon a spoken word and not the passions of the heart.
“Don’t let your heart rule your head” people say so why do we do just that? And use it to find God?
The way to God he says it to respect and revere Gods word, I know he mentions the word love to use it to love your brother and love your father, though he never says your mother or sister I wonder why? But he never did say love was the be all and end all. He said the truth was the way to find God and fight evil. And that truth relies upon giving your total respect and doing what God commanded in the first place and that was not to listen to any one else but God himself. All mankind give there oath to woman in marriage to trust to obey and to stay together, I don’t think God wanted man to serve two masters did he? How can you serve God and be a servant to your wife at the same time. You cannot that’s the answer. I am not saying marriage is a bad thing it is not, I am just saying that to respect Gods word and to worship God properly you have to give respect to that law and decide who you are going to serve one or the other? Do you respect Gods word or use your heart and love the idea of being in love and put your faith in woman?
That is all God is asking.
In all honesty I think we all should pay respect to God and show reverence to his commands, because you cannot really love what you cannot see and say I love God because I feel he is with me. To tell you the truth god does not need your love. He as all the love of his own, why try to give him something he does not need? Or to prove you full fill is commands with a feeling that takes away the very thing that Gods trying to save and that is your soul. I know in one of the ten commandments God says to love him with all your heart and soul and mind and all of your strength. So really god does not need love all on its own to make a bond with him if he needs love at all.
I think again that God wants us to earn his respect because we know that love can be given for free he says it flows like waters in a fountain, “come take it for free” he said.
It is respect that as to be earned and that don’t come for free or easy. This is the whole point we seem to miss in society and the bible, that is why I think we are in the state of affairs we are in , in the first place with this planet and its people and God, simply because we do not respect all three.
We take from the planet, we take from each other and we take from God what is rightly his.
