Cassa333@ God does not love us unconditionally. It is conditional. Conditional on total compliance. That is slavery dressed up as love.
Christian slavery differs greatly from what many people think about the subject of slavery. In their minds, being a slave conjures up thoughts of being cruelly dominated, oppressed, and unjustly treated. But God’s inspired Word speaks of slavery that involves willing service to a loving Master.
Jesus said, love for God involves our whole heart, mind, soul, and strength. Such love emanates from the heart, involving our feelings, desires, and inmost thoughts, and we fervently desire to please Jehovah. We also love with our mind. Our devotion is not blind; we have come to know Jehovah—his qualities, standards, and purposes. We use our soul, our whole being and the life we possess, to serve and praise him. And we use our strength to that end as well. It is not slavery.
God loves all mankind as John 3 verse 16 tells us "16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."
Pity more people in this world acknowledged the Bible definition of love. If they did, there would be no terrorism, crime, poverty, anger or famine. Man would love his neighbour and hence do no harm in any shape or form.
Racial discrimination and mistreatment of persons simply because of their national background are other problems that prevail because of failure to apply Bible principles.
