God's Love vs the Devil's Hate

What love is not! Love is not ignoring sin so people feel good about themselves.
Love is not giving everyone what they want from you.
God is love, focus on Him will create love in the hearts who have been transformed by Him.
Focus on the world will create a humanistic mindset based on selfishness. The selfishness that says as long as something is what I want then others have to accept it. No rules, not conviction of sin and no caring about others is the mentality of the humanistic sinner.
The selfish focus is only loving toward those who can give us what we want and this includes praise and acceptance of the sin we love.
Satan is at the core of all evil attitudes and actions. He is the one who convinced Eve she should distrust God and do whatever she wanted. It didn't work out so well for her because it brought the whole world into chaos and disorder. We are not different from Eve, the world is full of "Eve's" who refuse to obey God and do their own thing even if it destroys them.
We cannot blame satan, we have the choice to follow him or Christ. If we follow our own hearts satan will use it to destroy us. If we follow Christ He will use it to bless us and save us from hell.
John 10:1-18 "10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”
The world's love, if we were to break it down is really just to allow everyone to do what they want even if it leads to hell.
Choose Christ today and He will remove the hate, the anger, and the evil desires that ruin you. He will transform you into an entirely different person, the joy and peace will flood into your soul greater than you have ever experienced before. The things that ruin you that you loved before you begin to hate. Your eyes will be opened to the destruction satan had for you and the blessing God has for you after your transformation.
Choose Christ today and you will never look back, nothing in the past will be significant anymore, except the lessons you learned.
