Went to the interfaith council and discovered that buddhists base everything on cause and effect. If you do X, Y will happen as a result. Many people think this way hence our outrage when bad things happen to good people. It's as though a universal rule has been broken.
I don't think this is the christian view. Grace means that God gives to all good and bad. Good things are not dependent on good deeds.
God is good to many and some repond by worship, by serving, by giving to God because he has given to us.
It's a scandalous idea... Shocking!
"god so loved the world that he gave his son..." what outrageous generosity.
Rather than cause (what we do) leading to effect (what God does), we get effect (what God does) prompting cause (what we do)!
