Relationship With God - God's Forgiveness is Conditional
- failing to love and honor God;
- failing to believe God's love;
- living independent of God;
- seeking fulfillment in things or others;
- trying to do things for God to earn His acceptance;
- believing God is more interested in our behavior than in a relationship with us;
- being spiritually proud passed on our performance, abilities, or sacrifice.
Viewing God's forgiveness as incomplete or conditional results in our:
• believing God is angry with us and holding our sins against us;
• viewing ourselves as being on parole instead of fully pardoned;
• feeling emotional guilt and fearing punishment, which creates the distance in our relationship with God; and
• continually asking God for forgiveness but never experiencing the peace His total forgiveness brings.
