Even though Christ is living inside of Christians, we never live up to sinless perfection.

A Christian, according to the Bible, is someone who "believes in Jesus."

Following God and being loving is an outgrowth of that belief.

Our spiritual relationship with Jesus is the result of faith, prayer, obedience, confession of sin and the yielded-to indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Unfortunately, just because someone believes in Jesus, does not mean that any specific attitude or behavior will be theirs.

Rather, they might be growing spiritually inside, and they will later be led by God into the external Christ-like behaviors.

Or, having freewill, they might resist God, even as a saved believer, all of their lives.

One of the things that is often perceived as being "non-Christian" or "unloving" is telling people that God says that they are "sinners".

Or telling people that permanent separation from God (fear, pain, and endless despair, and physical burning await them one minute after they die), if they die without Christ.

No Christian filled with God's love would wish that on another human being, especially when Christ has paid the price for everyone's deliverance.

It's as if people think that we are hating them by telling them that God says they are "sinners."

Or that we are hating them because we tell them that God will justly punish their sins in Hell if they do not receive Jesus as their Savior.

On the contrary, we love people and want them to go to Heaven.

So, out of love, we warn them about Hell and tell them the Gospel so that they can take Jesus as their Savior and receive everlasting life.

If Heaven and Hell are real, as we believe they are, then telling someone the Gospel so that they can be saved from torment is the most loving thing you could possibly do for someone.
