Why do the people of God grow cold in their love of God and their love of one another?
It is because our God has given us freedom that we grow cold.
The Christian Life IScompletely voluntary.
Remember, Jesus let the rich, young man walk away.
(See the story in Matthew 19:16-30.) Jesus did NOT go running after the rich,
young man and say, "Well, maybe you can follow me some of the time."
No, in John 14:15,Jesus said,
"IF you love me, you will obey what I command."
