Christians, what's your thoughts on this?
I personally think God loves us at any level. There is no higher level with God, he loves us unconditional. This statement kinda reminds me of doing "WORKS"

As we spiritually progress we understand God better, but His love is unwavering and unconditional.

I completely agree. God loves us on all levels. Even before we became Christians. But, I do belive that we should work the levels to become mature Christians. We will make better decisions once we learn his word and trust in him. Although, there's nothing like getting in a rut trying to pray and overcome a paticular sin when he keeps sending us tests to see if we will make the right decision. Works is what some people think will get them into heaven. Even our best efforts are like dirty rags. (Isaiah 64:5-7)

I don't think we are on levels with God. I know that there is a relationship, there is growth and maturity.
I go through many things at the same time, but all have progressed differently as far as where I am with it.
I know that he loves us and we are all the same in his eyes and unconditionally.
I know we all have tests and trials...I just don't feel we have to pass levels.

What level do we need to be on to move up higher?
God's love is unconditional and in the bible it states that we are all a babe in Christ. I know that we all have to live Christ like in order to find our place in glory. That means living faithful until death.

Actually there is truth in what you say.
As I said in another answer all will be judged. That means all, no one gets left out.
Some will face an eternal judgment for their very lives. After that all others get a chance.
You hear about not storing up treasures on earth but in heaven. This will be when you get your share, according to the works you do not for salvation but because of salvation, or being saved.
There are crowns to be won. All will get the victor's crown, because of Jesus's victory over sin, but there are others. All to be lain at the feet of Him who is King of Kings.
Works wont get you saved, but faith without works is dead.

This is life, not public school. No tests are needed. Where did you get this "you must pass the test" stuff? It's totally ridiculous.
You're right. God loves us regardless of how Christian we are. He loves everybody! The Jews, the Buddist, the Athiest, and all the rest of everybody! :)

I think there is some form of gradation after Judgement Day. We shall be judged "according to our works". There are also "treasures in Heaven". The spiritual capital we put in now may determine our future rewards or dividends. There are "the least in Heaven". No one will feel less however because it's Heaven anyway!

The word says, To whom much is given, much is required. The purpose is to advance to a higher place in him. When I was a child I thought as a child, when I grew up I put childish things away. You must also grow spiritually.

I'm currently on Level 6, and, judging by all the "Violation's In A Question" notices I get, SHE doesn't want me to reach Level 7.

God's love is unconditional. That's what I think.
