We Love God!

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

The proper understanding of everything in life begins with God. No one will ever understand the necessity of conversion who does not know why God created us. He created us 'in His image' so that we would image forth his glory in the world. We were made to be prisms refracting the light of God's glory into all of life. Why God should want to give us a share in shining with His glory is a great mystery. Call it grace or mercy or love – it is an unspeakable wonder. Once we were not. Then we existed – for the glory of God!
John Piper

The issue is not “choice” per se; it’s the object of that choice that’s being debated. What we need to do is to encourage people to finish that sentence. “Women have a right to choose – what?” “An abortion.” “An abortion of what?” We need to move beyond euphemism to get to the heart of the matter: does anyone have the right to choose to kill an unborn human being? If so, why not logically also have the right to kill an already-born human being?

更美之约的大祭司
我们所讲的事,其中第一要紧的,就是我们有这样的大祭司,已经坐在天上至大者宝座的右边,
在圣所,就是真帐幕里,作执事;这帐幕是主所支的,不是人所支的。
凡大祭司都是为献礼物和祭物设立的,所以这位大祭司也必须有所献的。
他若在地上,必不得为祭司,因为已经有照律法献礼物的祭司
他们供奉的事本是天上事的形状和影像,正如摩西将要造帐幕的时候,蒙 警戒他,说:「你要谨慎,作各样的物件都要照着在山上指示你的样式。」
如今耶稣所得的职任是更美的,正如他作更美之约的中保;这约原是凭更美之应许立的。
那前约若没有瑕疵,就无处寻求后约了。
所以主指责他的百姓说+
日子将到,
我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约,
不像我拉着他们祖宗的手,
领他们出埃及的时候,
与他们所立的约。
因为他们不恒心守我的约,
我也不理他们。
这是主说的。
10 主又说:
那些日子以后,
我与以色列家所立的约乃是这样:
我要将我的律法放在他们里面,
写在他们心上;
我要作他们的 神;
他们要作我的子民。
11 他们不用各人教导自己的乡邻和自己的弟兄,
说:你该认识主;
因为他们从最小的到至大的,都必认识我。
12 我要宽恕他们的不义,
不再记念他们的罪愆。
13 既说新约,就以前约为旧了;但那渐旧渐衰的,就必快归无有了。
