There is a posture that signifies this total self-giving. That means, of course, putting every action, thought and property of ours at Christ’s disposal. His moral code was simple: love one another as Jesus loved us. And He even gave us a sure path to union with God, to repaying our infinite debt to God. He walked throughout Palestine, healing and preaching and doing good for us. He was the complete expression of the kind of just compassion we just discussed.
Jesus spent and gave up His life for us sinful humans. The Gospel gives us another look at God’s nature, as it was manifest perfectly in Jesus Christ, His beloved Son. But we should also pray that God move hearts to change, rather than pour out wrath. We should pray for those who think they can redefine marriage as whatever they want it to be.
We can, and should, mourn over the legislative travesty in New York State that happened last Friday. If there were only ten families in Sodom and Gomorrah that had not been complicite in homosexual injustice, He would have spared the cities. Second, His mercy and compassion is also perfect. First, before injustice and perversion, in response to a culture of sexual abuse like Sodom’s, He is perfect justice. The Scriptures today tell us much about this God we worship. His central message is that real repentance means death to self and selfishness.What do we owe to God? What gift should we give Him? Before considering that question, we should ask about God’s nature and actions. He gives practical steps for examining our own sins and seeking true repentance. He is also a leader at the YWAM, UofN Campus in Hawaii, and a member of the YWAM International Eldership.Ĭiting some stories from the Gospels, Loren explains what it means to truly repent of our sins.
