04/10/17 LOVE AND REDEMPTION

04/10/17 LOVE AND REDEMPTION

The redemptive work of God is restorative, not destructive. God wants abandonment and surrender from the lost, not scorched earth and hopelessness. God seeks humility in the rebel, not humiliation. As His people, we offer redemption and love and mercy and restoration for the sinner.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
(4) Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
(5) (love) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
(6) Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
(7) Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
