John 3:17
For God did not send his Son into
the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
We often put too much pressure on
ourselves to live according to God's "rules" when all he wants you to
do is have a relationship with him and the rest will follow. Everyone's
relationship with God is different according to how and who we are. We often
judge others because they aren't where we think they should be in Christ. In
reality though, God knew our journey as well as what it would take for us to
get there. Some of us find him when we are small, teenagers, adults, near the
end of our lives, or not at all.
God however, gave us free will to
believe or not believe. Christians like non Christians shouldn't condemn others
based on their beliefs. God wants everyone to come to and follow him. He could
force everyone to follow him but, that's not what God is about. God is about
love, patience, and understanding with Christians and non Christians alike.
Unfortunely, these principles are losing
themselves more and more in our world today. We need to start letting these
things shine again. In the end, God made us equal no matter how society views
us, or says. We should all respect each other regardless of where we are with
or without him. All in all, build each other up and love each other through and
peace, understanding and growth will take place which would and could bring us
closer to God.
