What if I decide I am going to Love The Lord but I am going to do whatever I want instead?

Question

What loss?

Emely how do you know you are going to make it, you got some magic wand LOL!

Answer 1

I do not think this is possible, If you truly loved the Lord then you would want to do what you are called to do by the Lord.  You may fall short sometimes but in the end you would strive to serve the Lord in all that you do.

Answer 2

My answer is Barney's answer.

Answer 3

Faith without works

thus your supposed love is false, cuase you dont do the things God commanded.

Answer 4

Your loss.

Answer 5

(1) The Real One will still love you anyway.

(2) If you have any kind of real relationship with the real One, and don't object to Him doing so, He can pull off this transformative thing inside you so that you will start wanting to do the things that would be in harmony with His will and His ways anyway.

(3) And wouldn't that be the whole point to begin with?

Answer 6

That is a major contradiction.

Jesus says "If you love me obey my commandments"

If you do what you want then you do not love God at all.

Answer 7

It would be highly questionable as to whether or not you really are a Chrsitian to begin with. Your actions are going to dictate what it is you believe . And if you truly are a Child of God. That action is going to gain you God's hand of dicipline unlike any dicipline you have had by any earthly mother and father ever.. Hope this helped...God bless you !

Answer 8

Your lost then. That means you really don't care how jesus feels then sin is hurting his heart.  

Answer 9

Then you prove you do not really love Him

A girl says, with her lips- "I love you Mom!". She does love her Mother, it is true.  Mom has been a good mom.

Then, one day, when asked to go out...  Mom says to her- "Dear one, I will not let you go to so and so's party because that gal is too wild and I don't think it's good for you, you may not go"  

Several scenarios may happen:

The daughter throws a FIT, pouts, screams cries- "but I WANT TO GO" You're SO MEAN. I NEVER get to have FUN. She throws baby hissy fits.  Mother is firm- NO you may NOT go.

  Daughter may slam her door, cry but then think about it, realize Well, Mom IS right- I know that girl well....and  say "sorry Mom, for acting that way", and all is well quickly.  Mother says as you grow you will understand why I said no.

or Daughter may slam her door- pout and think mom's a JERK I hate her- she never lets me do anything! and she might carry on and on and let resentment build and sass her mother and escalate the friction.  Keep throwing temper tantrums when she doesn't get her own way.

She may sneak out or run past Mom blatantly and go to the party- "F you Mom- I do what I WANT"  And go on an lead a rebellious life, thus ruining the relationship with her Mom.  AND eventually suffering bad consequences of her wild stuff.

Or she may be far wiser than normal teens that age- and say "Well, Mom I guess you are right- I know several of the kids that are going to be drug users and I know some are going to sneak alcohol in, I suppose I shouldn't go"    She feels sad, but when the party is busted or some of the kids are killed from drunk driving after the party- the girl thinks- maybe I ought to trust my Mom a bit more, after all.  Soon I shall be on my own and have to learn good choices.

Which actions speak that the daughter TRUSTED the mother and loved her enough to be obedient?

All of us are God's children when are a Christian- we all will grow and some will be babyish and pitch fits and not trust that God has the best and knows what is best for us. We may go "play" with rebellion. God will not protect us from consequences!

But some,  when we are mature and the faith is strong- we will obey more readily, trusting in God's guidance.

When you really love someone, you do not want to do things in blatant rebellion and sass them and hurt them to the core!

When we grow in Christ- and love Him- we may have a hard time "growing up" and always trusting in God's ways at first- but when you really know God and love Him,  you choose the good.

A person who rebells totally and LOVES the bad, so much that their conscience doesn't bother them over it- do you think they have the Holy Spirit in them? Impossible!

Answer 10

That means you have made a choice to fool yourself.

Answer 11

Love is an emotion that compels one to serve. So you will not be showing any real love.

Answer 12

do what you want I don't give a ****!

Answer 13

then you do not love the Lord. eventually you will come to a place where you will either compromise the word of God or heed His call. if you are doing what you want then you aren't doing what God wants. that is like lighting a candle for the devil and letting it burn to the bottom of the wick, then blowing the smoke in God's face. when you come to the judgement seat, all that you did for yourself will burn as wood... only that which you built on the foundation of Jesus Christ will stand.

Answer 14

Want permission or sympathy?

Jesus made the dealio. Take it or leave it.

If you really knew the Lord, then you would serve the Lord.

God love you!

Answer 15

God said "if you love Me, then you will keep my commandments"..you wouldn't love God.  

Answer 16

i won't be seeing you in heaven, then

Answer 17

thats called selfishness

Answer 18

How can you love the lord and the world to..you can't.

God loves you...God bless

Answer 19

You can't do both.  I mean, what if you told your husband or wife you love him/her but will still cheat on him/her if you want to.  You can't do both.  

Answer 20

Love the one you're with.
