Morning Facebook family and friends todays reading : The Heart of God : Judging people solely by actions can lead to inaccurate conclusions. Have you ever longed to look inside someones heart to understand what hes really like and what his motivations and beliefs are? Of course, we need never question Gods motive; divine righteousness requires that He do the right thing to every circumstance. Yet The Lord wants us to have an ever deepening personal relationship with Him, which does necessitate our knowing His heart. To make that possible, our Father has revealed Himself through His Word. But not everyone reads the Bible. As a result, we live in an age of misinformation about who God is, and confusion over His character, forgiveness, and gift of eternal security leads many disregard Him. If you want to understand Gods heart look across, where both His justice and mercy are demonstrated. The Father is perfectly holy; therefore, His just and fitting sentence for sin eternal separation from Him (Matt. 25:41). However, He desires fellowship with man. So how dies a holy, just God interact with sinful, rebellious human beings? He prepares a perfect sinless substitute to bear not only mankinds guilt but also the punishment each one of us deserves. Christs death made it possible fir is to be declared no longer guilty our sin debt had been paid in full, and that payment is applied on our behalf when we receive Jesus as Savior. Gods justice demanded that His Don undergo the worst punishment possible: separation from the Father. Jesus sacrifice led to the greatest blessing that Gods mercy could be poured out on us. Amen
