Like the people in the New Testament, we get stuck with God's physical miracles and not the spiritual. We feel God loves us when He makes us rich and curse Him when He tries to make us holy through trials. We want the miracle of the multiplication of the bread and not the conversion of the heartGod's love "demands" perfection, that is why we cannot escape the moral consequences of His love in our lives. God loves us too much to leave us in our own misery, the misery of being a sinner. To deny the demands is to deny healing. And that is what we all do.
We like to create a version of Jesus for ourselves that would tolerate us and not love us. I think that is the reason a lot of people like to call themselves "spiritual" and not religious. They don't want to be redeemed, they want to be left alone.
If you love Jesus, then you must seek the Truth, for He is the Truth. To love someone is to want to know them. If say you love Jesus and cares not for the Truth, then your relationship with Him is an imagination you made up to satisfy your needs. Your love for Jesus is anything but love.
