A lady asked me this question the other day. I told her “Let me get back to you on that.”
But to tell you the truth, I don’t think so. If a husband doesn’t love his wife do they stay together? No. Even though spouses hurt one another sometimes, they still love each other and they stay together.
Many say they love God, but God may think differently. God said in His word that if a man doesn’t love his neighbor he doesn’t love God. This can get a little tricky; we must mind our P’s and Q’s. We’re all guilty of falling short. Start reading God’s word and learn before it’s too late. Satan, unfortunately, has stolen many hearts in our country. You see, many of us want to give excuses for ourselves. God said in His word that we either love or we hate. There’s no in-between, no gray area.
It’s also very important that we don’t follow in the footsteps of the rich man (Luke 16). I am mentioning this because I see so much of it every day. It strikes a nerve in me when I see supposed Christians who act in a greedy, arrogant manner. It isn’t that they don’t know the word, but that they become too comfortable following the ways of the world. They have their priorities wrong, constantly worried about what others may think of them.
We must love God. We must love our neighbor. We can’t fool God, no matter how hard we may try. And oftentimes we can’t fool our neighbor either, because God puts them at the right place and time, enlightening them on what they need to know. So get it together people, while we still have time. Love God. Love your Neighbor.
