I have very bad feeling in last time about people vision of faith, they in many cases imagine it as duty to belive god go to church or pray othervise they burn in hell, but this is not truth, truth is Love and goodness to all people and god. So i want litle of your day time to help people explain true faith (LOVE!) and guide them to right way. Thank you.

Christianity cannot be faked. Love = ???? Feel good? help others who are too lazy to help themselves? Be nice to others even if they en route to hell Pro 27:6. The modern teaching is that love is a magically positive word...better defined as doing things that make YOU feel good = selfishness = fake sense of love = HATE. Yes, the devil turns well meaning love into hate if we remain blind and ignorant.
We are to love God Luke 10:27. Not '''have love'''!! Loving God = obeying His commandments.

Hi anton,
I'm finding it a little hard to understand your post and I'm thinking that English may be a second language to you? What I gather from your post is that you think that there are believers whose faith is based on works - meaning that they have to do certain things like go to Church or pray otherwise they will go to hell.
This is not the case as most believers understand that we have been saved by grace through faith and not because of anything that we have done or could ever do...
Ephesians 2
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
It is true that God is love. He loved people so much that sent his only son Jesus to die on a cross for us. His death and resurrection was for all mankind who believe in him by faith. Jesus set us free from our fallen state which originated from Adam and Eve's disobedience in the garden, releasing us from the penalty of that disobedience which was death and washing us clean with his blood. Then he sent us a helper [the Holy Spirit] to teach us how to be more like him and to also seal us for eternal life with him. :)
Romans 10 [NIV] says;
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.
Bless you and welcome!
