Sometimes it is tempting to say, oh to be a proverbial fly on Heaven’s wall. What was God thinking?

We can glean a lot out of the scriptures, though and I think we can get a general idea of what that fly would see based on how the Lord does act. Whatever else moves God, God is above all crazy with love. The great I Am is also Love. That’s how we can get such a crazy gift from God. The cross is God’s everlasting valentine and it performs as promised!! The big problem here isn’t God. The big problem is us!! We’re refusing this crazy love, being all packed full of ourselves in the devil’s power of pride, thanks to an ill understood (but quite obvious in consequences) fall. Though some of us are refusing it less and less, now, having accepted the salvation plan.

The greatest of all sin is ?

The great biggie that caused all mankind to fall in the garden of Eden ?
When satan planted doubts into Eve's mind ? when he said " Hath God said ? "

The great big all time ( sin, singular ) of man kind that all ( sins, plural ) derive from ? unbelief of God and in God.
The writer of the book of Hebrews goes into this a lot in talking about how the children of Israel because of unbelief did not enter into God's rest for them into the promised land.
The book of Hebrews says, that unbelief is in fact a sin and it angered God greatly that he swore with a oath that they would never enter into the promised land because of their unbelief and hardness of heart because of unbelief.
Anyone wonder what the writer of the book of Hebrews means when they said " If we willfully continue to sin after we have received the truth " ? well ? the book of Hebrews writer already told us what that sin is...... unbelief.
For if we continue to willfully not believe the message of the cross and Christ's anointing work on that cross through his blood, the truth of Jesus Christ, if we continue to reject it, defy it, resist it, and continue in that ? there is no more sacrifice for sins available for you and will receive the wrath of God.

I don’t think any of us have ever known that kind of crazy love.

Maybe it is akin to what a mother feels for her child?

Never had any so cannot say.
