Men will allow God to do most anything except be on His throne. Love is a characteristic of God that most people are familiar with. But many today who talk about the love of God do not know the God who in His very essense, is love. This is not what the Bible teaches or portrays about God and His love for men. Let's examine some verses which tell us about God's love, compassion, and patience.
Light often implies holiness, purity, and righteous.
The mistake that most people make in evaluating or attempting to understand God's love relates to how God responds to and deals with sin or unrighteousness in man. Some people doubt that God would ever judge the earth because they see no evidence of judgment in the lives of the wicked today. This leads to the misconception that God is indulgent of sin or like an old man up in heaven, who is so full of love that He winks at or overlooks all sin. They do not understand or realize that judgment follows death. They mistake the marvelous patience of God toward those in the world for indulgence.
