Topic: How To Live

Matthew 5:45 He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. (NIV)

Why would God have created a system like this? Wouldn't it be more fair for the bad people to always "get theirs". When we look at how Christ instructs us to live, then we see that 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, and we must be willing to throw off our sinfulness in loving Him. What many people want to believe is that God created a system of barter. In this imagined system, when someone is good or does good, they get a reward from God. The problem with this barter idea is that 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 just a lot of actors on the stage. God wants the real deal of love coming from us out to each other and up to Him.
