Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Yes, God is love. But He is not only love, He is holy.
Many people question if there's such a loving God, why are there present sufferings?
Charles Templeton, was an evangelist and a close friend of Billy Graham was a spiritual giant who was predicted to succeed Graham. But he failed to see God as a holy God. His faith fell through the rocks when he saw a photograph of a North African woman carrying her dead baby, looking up towards heaven, hoping for rain.
"Why couldn't this God of love send her rain? All she needed was rain!" Templeton questioned with frustration.
God is love, but don't put a full stop to it. He is holy, too.
He is holy too.1 Peter 1:16 (NIV)
For it is written, "Be holy, because I am holy."
I'm still learning to grasp this spiritual truth, but I believe it with all my heart :)
