It feels plausible there’s some natural dispensation within us to do so anyway. That’s often referred to as the God-shaped vacuum or hole in our heart. We have to remember in all of this, however, that while we do love God greatly, and grow in our love for God over time, it’s also true that Jesus, as well as the other New Testament writers, often told us to love our brothers, and even those who aren’t. Thus, God himself clearly has it in mind that we will, and should, love other humans. And, we know, that in Heaven, a large amount of them are going to be there with God and us throughout all eternity. In that respect then, while we may love God greater, it is true we will always have fellow humans around us whom we love. It has not been taught in our Colossians series that those who don’t know God when they depart this world will be with God anyway, or will end up being with God. That’s not taught here.
