Does God really love us? I say look to the crucified Jesus. Look to the old rugged cross.

-By every hair of his beard plucked from his cheeks by cruel fingers.
-By every bruise which heavy fists made upon His

But later on, when I met Christ, It

We have bought all the God is only love theology of today. However, the plain meaning of this passage is still in affect today, whether we believe it or not. We need to get serious about it.
However, our modern scientific minds silently scoff at God bringing sickness and death as judgement,

God warns us against thinking we can help ourselves without him. In Jeremiah 17:5, the prophet tells us,
“This is what the Lord says: ‘Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans and turn their hearts away from the Lord.’”
And in Proverbs 28:26 (NIV), we read,

Sin has become commonplace among God’s people. We have become somewhat hardened to it, given the constant exposure we have to it through modern media. Sin is a problem in the life of a Christian, and unconfessed sin will hinder the prayer life of anyone.
Consider the following example of a young
