well God is our creator. He made us in His image but gave us our own mind to make decisions about everything. We can
decide to not believe in Him. If we do believe we will join Him in
Heavan one day. If not we goto hell. He loves us from the beginning. Jesus died on the cross for us to have a way to get
back to our father. Christians are striving to be like Jesus, but
we will never make it in our lifetime. Everyday if we stay focused
we can try and do things, say things, behave in ways that portray
we are christians. It is a constant frame of mind we try to achieve and at times we succeed and times we fail. Thankfully
God is a forgiving God and gives us a second chance when we fail. Being a christian is the best decision we can make.

Here are a couple of quotes about God as Love from C. S. Lewis that I really like:
"He [God] has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense. .... Love, in its own nature, demands the perfecting of the beloved; ... mere "kindness" which tolerates anything except suffering in its object is, in that respect, at the opposite pole from Love."
"You ask for a loving God; you have one ... not a senile benevolence that drowsily wishes you to be happy in your own way, not the cold philanthropy of a conscientious magistrate, not the care of a host who feels responsible for the comfort of his guests, but the CONSUMING FIRE HIMSELF, the Love
that made the worlds, persistent as the artist's love for a child, jealous, inexorable, exacting as love between the sexes..."
"The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."
With love in Christ.
