God doesn’t love people because we are lovable or because we deserve His love. If anything, the opposite is true. The state of mankind since the fall is one of rebellion and disobedience. It sickens me when I here Christians say God hates sinners because of their sinning .
“But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power. Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit.”
Those who take seriously the biblical warnings against sin and dare speak out against evil are written off as religious fanatics, and all Christians are, ironically, judged as being “judgmental.”
“Am I now trying to get people to think well of me? Or do I want God to think well of me? Am I trying to please people? If I were, I would not be serving Christ.”Galatians 1:10 NIRV
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins . Have you heard this ? Remember John was speaking to unbelievers gnostics and Christians in 1 John
