On the other hand some people are arguing that using the term reckless, referring to God's character is heretical and not biblical. The shepherd symbolizes God and the lost sheep are people that do not have a relationship with God.
Both of these scriptures talk about the parable of the lost sheep and the shepherd. He simply gives Himself away on the off-chance that one of us might look back at Him and offer ourselves in return.His love leaves the ninety-nine to find the one every time." Some people are arguing that song is biblical because it makes reference to the scripture from Matthew 28:12-14 and Luke 15. He doesn't wonder what He'll gain or lose by putting Himself out there. In fact, all things considered, it's quite childlike, and might I even suggest, sometimes downright ridiculous. What I mean is this: He is utterly unconcerned with the consequences of His actions with regards to His own safety, comfort, and well-being. I am, however, saying that the way He loves, is in many regards, quite so. But more than that, I hope it brings you into an encounter with the wildness of His love.When I use the phrase, "the reckless love of God", I'm not saying that God Himself is reckless. I hope it brings answers to your questions. I've taken some time to write out my thoughts here. Many have wondered why I'd use a "negative" word to describe God. I think that by trying to clarify what the song was saying he added to the confusion behind the controversy.This is what he had to say, "Many have asked me for clarity on the phrase, "reckless love". This is the statement that Cory Asbury released after many people questioned his theology regarding his lyrics. I was not made aware of the controversy surrounding the popular song "Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury until about a week ago, but now that I am aware this is what I have concluded.The controversy surrounding the song is how the term reckless is used to describe God's love. Worship was created to glorify God, and not to argue over what kind of theology the artist used to write the song. For example, that the song was not biblical and should not be sung in churches. I normally don't pay attention to negative things that people say about worship music, but the things that people were saying caught my attention. First things first I do not agree with people getting so caught up in the specific theology of a song that they forget who they are singing the song to.
