Love of God (209)
  1. Wilson reminds his reader over and over again that, in his love, God accepts sinners as they are so that we may be delivered from the self-acceptance, self-worship, and self-justification of our selfish definitions of love.
  2. Christ has taken our failures and defeats and exchanges that yoke for his own.
  3. The goal of language in the mouth of a Christian isn’t to hold power for ourselves but to give it.
  4. This spiritual giant of the Middle Ages is worth considering on this anniversary of his death.
  5. Dr. Paulson and Caleb continue to outline Luther’s response to Erasmus.
  6. Jesus did not need a single act of mercy to get him started on the road to mercy, his essence was by nature merciful.
  7. God’s love is axiomatic; it just is. It’s a truism without a logical explanation.
  8. But Jesus didn’t see it that way. He saw his arrest not as the kingdom’s program being thwarted but as it being “fulfilled.”
  9. With Jesus, troubles and sorrows, problems and worries, heartbreak and mourning are gathered up like left-over crumbs from a feast marking the celebration of victory over the enemy's forces.
  10. We can not give our Heavenly Father anything that will make him love us more or less. He gives and we receive.
  11. Mankind’s “thoughts and ways” on the matter of pardon and forgiveness do not even come close to exhausting, let alone fathoming, God’s “thoughts and ways.”
