By giving us a living example of God and how we are to live. We understand Gods love by experiencing it through Jesus and now through His followers rather than just hearing about it from a book. God may have seemed scary and unforgiving before Jesus forgave sinners publicly as an act of obedience to God and love for His creation. If we believe that He is God's son and messenger on earth, we can then associate Jesus' kindness with God. Jesus is kind and loving therefore God is kind and loving. God heals the sick, Feeds the hungry, teaches the masses and forgives sinners.

Why is it people think Jesus and God are so terrible?
OpinionIn my experience, Jesus is almost universally respected, even among those who do not believe that he was divine. Even among followers of other religions, the moral teachings attributed to Jesus are considered as at least equal to their own.There are some who find the Old Testament image of God disturbing, even terrible. These are generally Christians, who want their God to be a loving and kind God, as mainly described in the New Testament. This paradox, on the one hand an angry and vengeful God of the Old Testament, and on the other, a loving and kind God of the New Testament, led many early Gnostic Christians to believe that there must be two different Gods. Today, most Christians accept the Old Testament image of God, because modern Christian teaching is that the Old Testament God and the New Testament God are the same. God can not be 'terrible'.There are others who do not believe that God is real. They either believe that Jesus was at most a holy preacher, but not divine, or even that he was not really a historical person. However, this is a different issue and does not imply that they are 'terrible'.
What does the image of the vine and branches represent in John's gospel?
Jesus is the vine and his followers are the branches, while God is the one who tends the plant.

It establishes the relationship between Christians and Christ, and is the last of the ' I Am' statements.
Why is the Shroud of Turin important to Christians?
A:The Shroud of Turin is not important to non-Catholics, who are generally sceptical about Catholic 'relics'. It is important to some Catholics, who believe the Shroud of Turin to be the very shroud in which Jesus was wrapped after his crucifixion - although there is compelling evidence to the contrary.If it really is the cloth in which Jesus was wrapped, this does become important for all Christians. because it then creates a serious problem for the authenticity of John's Gospel. John says that there was a separate cloth placed over Jesus' face (John 20:7) in line with first-century Jewish practice, whereas the image on the Shroud of Turin clearly represents Jesus as being wrapped in a single cloth.
