The message of Jesus is that God loves us. This does not mean that He likes or approves of everything we do. In fact, because His love seeks only what is good, He may work in us, a desire to change some of our bad attitudes, thoughts and actions. He wants cooperation not compliance.
“For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” Phil.2.13 Conversations Within” ts 7/21/
