I WANT TO DO WHAT MY ABBA WANTS…or I HAVE TO DO THIS OR GOD WILL SEND ME TO HELL…?

12/9/12




We know generally what God wants of us; He wants us to have faith in Him (and in His Son, if we are Christians), live a life, in accordance with His will, reflective of that faith, and thus to share eternity with Him, our Abba (Galatians, 4, 6), or Papa.



It’s harder to know specifically what God wants of us (See my 11/27/12 post, THE WEDDING FEAST AT CANA: A WHOLE LOT OF PARTYING GOING ON…AND MARY’S COMMAND FOR THE AGES), especially with all the people, many of them poseurs, who purport to speak for God. But I suspect that one thing God wants is to be loved volitionally rather than out of a sense of obligation; i.e., He wants us to be so in love with Him that we want to be with Him and serve Him. He doesn’t want us to love and serve Him and spend time with Him because we are afraid we will go to hell if we don’t. He wants to be Daddy, not some kind of celestial drill sergeant.



Anybody who has been deeply in love and/or who is a parent knows this feeling. Who wants his lover, or his children, to love him out of fear or obligation? Neither does God.
