Matthew 5:45---That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Why would
God have created a system like this? Wouldn't it be fairer for the bad people
to always "get theirs?" When we look at how Christ instructs us to
live, then we see His teachings have a "love only" foundation. God
has created conditions for our relationship to Him based solely upon our loving
Him. We must love the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit for who He is, what
He is, what is He you might ask, He’s God and we must be willing to throw off
our sinfulness in loving Him. Many people believe God created a system of
barter. In this imagined barter system, when someone is good or does good they
get a reward from God. The problem with this barter idea is the heart of a
person can remain covered in sin and the person can hate God just so long as
they do a lot of good and act good. God wants more than actors on the stage. God
wants the real deal of love coming from us reaching out to others and up to
Him.
