So let’s get rid of some common, distorted God concepts. 1 God is not a cruel chess player or manipulator. He gave you free will, so use it wisely. 2 We will reap what we sow. Whether it’s good or bad seeds, it’s up to us. Bad seeds produce bad fruit. “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” ( Galatians 6:7 , NIV) 3 God cares about you. He’s not an absent landlord. 4 God is not angry with you. Christ paid the penalty for all your sins. He loves you unconditionally
