I am the father of 6 wonderful kidlets. I don’t know what it would take for me to stop loving them, but I wouldn’t abandon them.
I guess that that alone would invalidate this analogy for me.
That’s the whole point, God doesn’t abandon those he adopts, either. He is in it for the long haul, just as you are there for your kids, regardless of what they do.
God isn’t sitting there hoping man will choose him, he makes the choice to love the ones he does. You don’t wait for your children to love you, you demonstrate your love to them every day.
God sent his Son, Jesus, to die for his own (the Elite Elect, as you like to say) so that they can come to him and do his will. Without Jesus, no man can come to God. Once a man is adopted, he will never be lost, ever.
Congrats on the 6 kidlets. I have one daughter, one son-in-law, and one grandson.
