Quote on Object Oriented Faith

We tend to think in terms of "things" and objects" instead of Christ. This is another stronghold of the mind. This "object-oriented" thinking relates to spiritual things. For example, we tend to think of love as something that God gives us rather than the fact that He is love. Love is a Person, not a thing or virtue that God gives us like an object is given as a gift. God has given us His Son and His Son is these things. Or to put it more accurately, He is the sum of all spiritual things. He doesn't just give us these things as if they were objects that are separate from Him. We tend to dissect and separate things because we have the individualistic mind that I spoke about earlier in this article. We are not Christ centered in our thinking, so when we read the scriptures we tend to see them in terms of things and not the Person.
