God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Inspiration… the related process whereby God preserved the biblical authors from error when communicating, whether by His voice or in writing, that which He had shown them. The Holy Spirit superintended the writing of Scripture, that is to say, He acted to insure that what the human authors intended by their words is equivalent to what God intended… The Spirit thus brought the free and spontaneous thoughts of the human author into coincidence with the thoughts of God.

The motive for repentance is not only sorrow for sin but also a sense of the mercy of God in Christ. We have zero motivation to repent, unless we see the mercy of God awaiting us. Not the slap of God, but the embrace of God. Repentance is not just turning from sin, not even that primarily. Repentance is primarily turning to God, moment by moment, because He has promised His mercy to the penitent.
