The Human Economy of Love
We grow up in an entirely different economy of love than God’s love. Simple behavior modification methods train us from infant on up that certain behaviors are acceptable and others are not. If we behave well, the consequence is reward. If we behave badly, the consequence is punishment. Please do not misunderstand, it is necessary to do this. Even God provided the law as a means of disciplining and guiding his people to maturity, both in relation with each other (socially) as well as in relation to Himself.
