If we only accept the parts of God's Word that make use feel good, we are not worshiping God, but ourselves.

The answer in part can be found in the teachings of Jesus Christ...
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14, KJV)
There are few who find the way that leads to life. Jesus wasn't just speaking of eternal life, but a way of living that promotes life as special and sacred. Christ modeled this way of living for all who wish to follow after Him.

Do we love God as radically as He loves us?

Are we willing to lay everything down for Him like He did for us in the person and being of Christ? Are we willing to die to ourselves and live for Christ?
I am not there yet, but that is the finish line of the race of faith I am running.
Only by the blood of Christ and power of the Holy Spirit within me shall I finish this race.

22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. (1 Corinthians 10:22-23, KJV)
