Thoughts and Ramblings of a Struggling Christian

I was watching a documentary recently in which a church leader said something along the lines of this:
“Your love for God is mainly driven by your fear of hell.”
And I thought to myself, “Well, that just seems wrong.  It doesn’t seem Biblical at all. I thought the whole point of being given the choice between Jesus and Satan was so that we could truly love instead of being forced into it.  There should be no fear about choosing freely.”
So there it is… there is no fear in love.  The Word of God says so.
