Christians: How can you love someone youve never met?

Question

All i hear is christians tell about their deep love for god. I mean they truly believe they L.O.V.E him!

How can you love someone you've never even met/seen/spoke to?

Answer 1

I have faith. I feel it in my heart. He loves me more than anyone can even imagine, and I'm trying to reciprocate that love. I love Him more than anything in this world, but no matter what, He loves us more.

Let me ask you this; if your mother died during childbirth, would you still love her? Even though you'd never actually met her?

Answer 2

In the general sense you should have love for your fellow man. That doesn't mean you have to be in love with them

"in love with" and "having love for" are two different things.

Answer 3

they believe they have spoken to him. they believe all sorts of nonsense, loving god is just one part of the silliness.

miss dee, you are mentally ill.

Answer 4

I never met C.S. Lewis, but I felt like I want him to be one of my peers when I read of Narnia and Space Trilogy.

Answer 5

We can, because He first Loved us. He was and is our example. BTW, some of us see Him everyday...

Answer 6

A loving nurturing mother loves the unborn child that grows in her.  She has never spoken or seen him or her.  

If we who are sinners can love that way how much more can Our heavenly Father love us.  He knew us even before we were formed.  

Accept that love stop trying to fight it.

Answer 7

it is called faith
