It doesn't matter how "good" you are or how much you give, or how much you "love". In my opinion any type of love outside the type of love exemplified by Christ is nothing but lust. Lust is a selfish kind of love that gives the lover something in return. There is a payoff for the loving. Unconditional love doesn't say, "what's in it for me?" It loves because Christ first loved you.

The Bible states that at the end of time there will be those who will say, "But, Lord, we cast out demons in your name, we gave to charities, we took food to the homeless and all in your name." In that day Christ will say, "Get thee behind me, you workers of iniquity for I never knew you." The word "knew" in the above text in Hebrew means the same thing as when Adam "knew" Eve and she conceived and bore a son. It involved intimacy. An intimate relationship with Christ is needed. A daily walk and talk with Him, an openness and conversation and willingness and desire to be what He wants us to be.

Its not about religion. Its not about theology or "the Church" or "the Reverend Doctor so and so." It is about you and me, everday Mary and Joe, knowing the Son of God and having a cup of coffee with Him everyday. Trusting Him with our lives, our children, our jobs, our relationships. He doesn't tolerate sin in any form, but he loves the sinner and isn't willing that anyone, even the sinner should perish, but the decision is up to us. He can't and won't make it for us.
