We Love God!

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

The second commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself. Among other things this would mean: 1. You cherish for your neighbors the very same love that you bear toward yourself. 2. In your dealings with them you never show selfishness, irritability, peevishness, or indifference. 3. You take a genuine interest in their welfare and seek to promote their interests, honor, and well-being. 4. You never regard them with a feeling of prideful superiority, nor do you ever talk about their failings. 5. You never resent any wrongs they do to you, but instead are always ready to forgive. 6. You always treat them as you would have them treat you. 7. To paraphrase 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, you are always patient and kind, never envious or boastful, never proud or rude, never self-seeking. You are not easily angered and you keep no record, even in your mind, of wrongs done to you.

Jerry Bridges

The Father imposed His wrath due unto, and the Son underwent punishment for, either: 1. All the sins of all men. 2. All the sins of some men. 3. Some of the sins of some men. In which case it may be said: a. That if the last be true, all men have some sins to answer for, and so none are saved. b. That if the second be true, then Christ, in their stead suffered for all the sins of all the elect in the whole world, and this is the truth. c. But if the first be the case, why are not all men free from the punishment due unto their sins? You answer, Because of unbelief. I ask, Is this unbelief a sin, or is it not? If it be, then Christ suffered the punishment due unto it, or He did not. If He did, why must that hinder them more than their other sins for which He died? If He did not, He did not die for all their sins!
