The biggest misconception that religion has taught us is that you have to earn God's love or be perfect. That's not even possible, it's so false! And that's not what the Bible says anyway. It's a misinterpretation.
The moral of the Bible is not about what we can do for God, it's about what God has done for us.
God created us because he wants a family and a relationship with us. He made provisions for sin --> Jesus (God) came to earth as man to taste death for man to fulfill the law (the ten commandments) for us. We are no longer under the law. We are under the Holy Spirit. There is no condemnation for those in Christ. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ. God doesn't want a bunch of stupid puppets. He wants us to want to know him with our own free wills. That's the high level synopsis. That's the truth of the Bible. That's not Baptist, Mormon, Catholic, or any other religion. Religions miss the point. What is the point? Again, the point is that it's not about what we can do for God, it's about what God has done for us. It's that simple.
No other God makes provisions for sin. The God of the Bible does. And since I am not a perfect person, the God of the Bible is the God for me. I'm not gonna die believing in nothing. I'm gonna go out of this world feeling good believing in the Holy Spirit, Jesus, a loving-forgiving God, and a heaven, and streets of gold, and I'm prayin for a Ford Mustang too because God is all powerful and loves us that much. Frankly, I want to see all of my friends there. I KNOW God is with us. I just know.
