Re: The Essence of Biblical Christianity:
I can relate to your "identity crisis" after having gone through one ourselves, leaving the UPC after almost 40 years... you begin to search and question all things you were taught... and I remember last year when the light came on for me after I had read the NT in a little over a day or so, after being desperate to understand where God wanted us to be... and I realized then... that the overlying, underlying and constant thread throughout the Word is Love... Love for God and for one another.... the love for God is much easier than love one for another...
We can get the love for God in our lives because of the blessings, and rewards that come from loving God... but loving our neighbor, or someone who has hurt us, or is our enemy... that is a totally different story.
That is the true test of our salvation... can we love those who don't love us....
What wonderful thoughts and reflections... Aquila, and thank you so much for sharing your heart with us!
