(1) Strive daily to love God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength--total commitment--while also remembering the Arminian glad tidings that His commitment to your eternal well being is CONDITIONAL. This means that God requires that you love Him MORE than He loves you.(2) Trust God wholeheartedly while bearing in mind that you can count on Him only--if--He can count on YOU.
(3) Give thanks for and in all things including Arminianism's good news that God in His foreknowledge may already know that you will wind up in hell--due to some foul-up on your part which you cannot foresee.
(4) Meditate daily and rejoice in Arminianism's glad tidings that God is only as reliable as YOU are.
(5) Avoid legalism--while at the same time--being careful to SHUN THE VERY APPEARANCE OF EVIL, remembering that Arminianism's gospel declares that both legalism and licence will send you to hell.
(6) Keep rejoicing in Jesus' "unconditional love" while bearing in mind Arminianism's glad tidings that unless you meet certain conditions IN THIS LIFETIME that He will abandon you--forever.
(7) Remember that JOY is a fruit of the Spirit, and if you don't have it that means you probably don't have God's Spirit. Uh oh..! It is VITAL that you ALWAYS have the joy of the Lord.
(8) Remember that Christ's yoke is easy and His burden is light--while not forgetting at all times to take SERIOUSLY Arminianism's glad tidings that your Good Shepherd helps only those who help themselves. In fact He has planned (based on His foreknowledge) from eternity past to abandon most people--many failing Christians included--to fiery agony FOREVER.
(9) Remember that the Lord's commands are not burdensome. All He requires is that YOU love your neighbor as you love your very self--while bearing in mind--that neither He nor your Heavenly Father is under any obligation to do so.
(10) Bear in mind that Christ came to fulfill the law and the prophets which are-- "What you would have others do to you, you do also to them." However, He will never do so, according to Arminanism's glad tidings. He expects YOU to fulfill the law and the prophets. However, He has already planned to treat billions of His little neighbors as He will not ever be treated: burn them alive "forever and ever."
(11) Bear in mind that the Lord WANTS all people to be saved--but at the same time--He created the human race KNOWING that most people would agonize in hell forever. Thus, He has planned from eternity past to harbor an irrational "desire" for what He KNOWS will never happen.
(12) Daily meditate on God's loving heart, power and wisdom as well as on the truth that "Love never fails!"--while not forgetting also to continue to take SERIOUSLY--that Love has already planned to fail for people who fail. Love will only prove reliable for those (relatively) few individuals who manage to perform better than most of the human race. Bottom line: Unfailing Love is for successess, NOT for failures.
