No ultimatum. No believe-or-else. No turn or burn.
God is love. He is compassion, pure compassion. And he is not going to give up on anyone. He sent Jesus to be our way of life. Jesus basically exemplified the life of the Father. He exemplified who the Father was and what his life was.
And as far as he was concerned, he didn't come to change our actions. He didn't come to point out, like, do this the right way. Like we always tend to think, do this the right way. No ultimatum. No such thing as, you know, believe or else, turn or burn. He didn't come to do all that. In fact, he came to do the complete opposite. He came to destroy that mindset that says that your actions and your performance, or whatever you do, is life, right?
What we do is we put the cart before the horse. We think that what we do is life, when it's completely the opposite. Who we are decides how our life will turn out, right? John 3:16 and 17, it says God didn't send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. The son of man has come to seek and save that which was lost, right? Luke 19:10. And 2 Corinthians 5:19, it says God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them.
So he didn't come to tell us how to live. He came to give us identity, so that everything that we do becomes a product of our identity. God never tells us what to do and what not. The Holy Spirit does not lead us in actions. He leads us by identity, and actions are a product of identity. So our life is supposed to be a completely, completely free life.
