God Isn’t Trying to Control You
It’s easy for us to be confused about who God is and what He’s like.
We might think of Him as a puppet master, up in heaven, controlling events. Or we might think of Him as a distant, detached, disappointed being. Both are inaccurate. The Bible tells us so many things that set these thoughts straight.
Number one, the Bible tells us that God loves us with a perfect love, not a love riddled with selfish attitudes. He doesn’t love us to be loved—He loves us because it’s His character. It’s who He is.
And number two, the Bible tells us that He allows us to choose.
He has given us freedom to choose to love Him back.
He is not a puppet master, and neither is He a detached bully. He is a loving father, and He calls you today.
Believe in Him, allowing Him to be the Father of your life.
“He is a loving father, and He calls you today.”
Galatians 5:1
“So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.”
