People have wrong ideas about Gog.

This makes them unable to love such a god. Many people seem to be afraid of God. Many people remember from their childhood when someone told them. Obey. If not, God will punish you. It is an obstacle to the spiritual life. I can’t love someone  I’m afraid of. People have often created an image of God according to their liking. The truth is that many nations invented a god according to their ideas, just as it seemed to them that a god should be like that. Voltaire said God made man in His image, but man repaid him.  That is, man has created a  God in his image. He created an Image of God, into which he put all his negative qualities. But the  Christian god is different. That’s such a beautiful god. It’s impossible not to love such a god; that side is so good. A person who knows such a god is fascinated by his love and greatness. If a man knows God, it means an excellent facilitation for his life. In Jesus, we recognize Gog as He is. The pagan people thought that God should be propitiated and that sacrifices should be made to him. God does not want the death of a sinner; God wants man to convert and live. God reconciled mankind to Himself by sacrificing Himself. Reconciliation with God is a gift from God and not a human feat. God does need our human sacrifices. He needs us. Many think the more self-denial we make, the happier God will be.  But God doesn’t need it. He longs for one thing. All God requires of us is our consent. The Christian sacrifice is that I allow God to treat me the way he wants, to use me for his work, so that the wall still gives me gifts. Working with a living god sometimes requires a lot of commitment. Self-denial should not be an end in itself, but it should also serve to express love. God loves life and accepts death only so we can live. God has given meaning to our suffering. Many people think our prayers will make God act as we want him to. 1 prays that it rains, two prays that it does not rain. We want God to act the way we want. But we don’t know what’s good, but God knows. How can a person impose his will on God? Only God knows what is good for us. It is not right to impose our will on God. Jesus did not pray, Father, as I want, but as you wish. No one wants as much good for us as God.
