What is concordism?
The stories you mention still speak to me how powerless wisdom and
intellectual belief are compared to having a true love for God in one's
heart.
Love is more powerful even than faith! (re. 1 Cor 1:13). Loving God is a
foreign concept to so many, and is difficult for myself as well. Its so much
easier to love people in the flesh than to love God who is Spirit. And God,
through the Bible, says if we can't love the people in our lives than how
can we truly love God? We can't. Its part and parcel. Look at how many Bible
passages refer to Love versus how many refer to Wisdom!
Yet feeling loved by God is as difficult as loving God. It is perhaps why
some turn away. Both Peter and Judas betrayed God. One believed in God's
forgiveness and turned back. The other killed himself.
