How Much We Love God

What’s the measuring stick? 

Growing up, I heard there were three possibilities – 

• loving God & people well (saints in Heaven),
• loving God well and people poorly (what “good” Christians do), 
• or loving people well and God poorly (what country/Kentucky people do).

But lately, reading the OT prophets with The Bible Recap, I’m noticing different ideas….

* Micah - God’s judgement coming because people are being cruel/hateful to each other 

* Isaiah - Lost people and Satan are alike in their pride, anger, & selfish/hateful behavior. God and His children are alike in humility, love, & trust.

If you love God, then you’ll love people. 

If you don’t love people, then you don’t love God. 

It’s as simple as that.
