Hello skoolers. What is that one thing you heard/happened and it made you question your faith and trust in God?

"If you tithe, God will bless you. If you fast, God will hear your prayers. If you obey, God will love you more." These are the mantras of conditional love—and they are lies. The Religious Trap Religion has trained us to believe that God's love operates on a performance scale. Do more, get more. Sin less, receive more. It's exhausting, and it's not the Gospel. The truth? God's love for you is not conditional. It never has been. It never will be. His love is not a reward for good behavior or a response to your spiritual résumé. It is a gift—freely given, fully complete, and utterly unchanging. "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." — Romans 5:8 Notice the timing. While we were still sinners. Not after we cleaned up. Not after we proved ourselves worthy. While we were still a mess, God loved us enough to send His Son to die for us. The Cross Settled It The Cross was not a down payment on God's love. It was the final, complete, once-for-all demonstration that His love is unconditional. Jesus didn't die for you so that you could earn God's favor. He died for you because you already had it. Your obedience doesn't make God love you more. Your disobedience doesn't make Him love you less. His love is not a thermostat that adjusts based on your behavior. It is a constant, unchanging reality secured by the blood of Jesus. What About Obedience? "But doesn't the Bible say to obey?" Yes. But obedience is not the currency we use to purchase God's love. Obedience is the natural overflow of a heart that has already received it. We don't obey to be loved. We obey because we are loved. There's a massive difference. One is slavery. The other is sonship. "We love because he first loved us." — 1 John 4:19 The Father's Heart God is not sitting in heaven with a clipboard, tallying your good days and bad days. He's not withholding blessings until you hit a certain spiritual quota. He is a Father who delights in you—not because of what you do, but because of who you are: His child.
