It is not our love for God; it is God’s love for us in sending his Son to be the way to take away our sins.
1 John 4:10
We have attempted to reach the moon but scarcely made it off the ground. We tried to swim the Atlantic, but couldn’t get beyond the reef. We have attempted to scale the Everest of salvation, but we have yet to leave the base camp, much less ascend the slope. The quest is simply too great; we don’t need more supplies or muscle or technique; we need a helicopter.
Can’t you hear it hovering?
“God has a way to make people right with him” (Romans 3:21, italics mine). How vital that we embrace this truth. God’s highest dream is not to make us rich, not to make us successful or popular or famous. God’s dream is to make us right with him.
In the Grip of Grace
