We Love God!

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

What is [special about] the New Covenant (Jer. 31:31-34; Ezek. 36:25-28)? 1. Internalization of God's law ('I will put My law within them, and on their heart I will write it' Jer. 31:33a). 2. Unbroken fellowship with God ('I will be their God, and they shall be My people' Jer. 31:33b). 3. Unmediated knowledge of God ('And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying ';Know the Lord,' for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them' Jer. 33:34a). 4. Unconditional forgiveness of sins ('for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more' Jer. 33:34b).
Sam Storms

On the one hand, Christianity is the most exclusive religion imaginable. It insists that belief in Jesus Christ is absolutely necessary for salvation. Jesus is the only way. You must go to Him to get eternal life. On the other hand, Christianity is the most inclusive religion possible because it makes salvation accessible to everyone. Salvation is offered for all people through one Person. Whoever believes in Him will not perish. Anyone who receives or believes in Jesus will live forever with God. There are no racial, social, intellectual, or economic criteria that prevent anyone from joining God’s family. One of the problems with the other religions of the world is that they all smack of elitism… Only Christianity offers salvation to everyone as a free gift.
