I've read a few messages by "Christians", who say they love their children, spouses, or parents first, and THEN God. Which means...their love for God comes second.
If you are a Christian who feels this way, I'd like to hear why you believe this is Biblical, and why this resonates with your heart? Also, do you believe Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac, because he loved God more, trusted God completely due to faith, and did so out of obedience, or all the above?
Note: It's possible to trust someone and not love them more than your children, spouse, or parents, which is why I've asked the latter.
Lastly, to unbelievers who may not understand why Christians will disagree on this issue, please be aware, that every Christian has a different level of spiritual maturity, knowledge of scripture, and relationship with the Lord, just as all Christians have not been born again.
I was surprised to read this from Christians, and I'm interested in reading your responses?
