We Love God!

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

Other stories are always looking for ways to humanize God and deify us, but God’s story exalts Him and brings appropriate humility to us as His creatures. All wisdom starts here. If you miss it, you are on the wrong path and without hope.
Edward Welch

Because we are justified solely because of the righteousness of Christ, our role in justification is not to obey but to have faith in Christ... When we seek to justify ourselves by human effort of any kind, we undermine the sufficiency of Christ’s atoning work. Only justification by faith alone preserves the honor and glory of what Jesus did on the cross.
Jay Harvey

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, And Ransom
Captive Israel, That Mourns In Lonely
Exile Here Until The Son Of God Appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall Come To Thee, O Israel!

O Come, Thou Rod Of Jesse, Free Thine
Own From Satan’s Tyranny;
From Depths Of Hell Thy People Save
And Give Them Victory Over The Grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall Come To Thee, O Israel!

O Come, Thou Day-Spring, Come And Cheer
Our Spirits By Thine Advent Here;
And Drive Away The Shades Of Night,
And Pierce The Clouds And Bring Us Light!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall Come To Thee, O Israel!

O Come, Thou Key Of David, Come,
And Open Wide Our Heavenly Home;
Make Safe The Way That Leads On High,
And Close The Path To Misery
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall Come To Thee, O Israel
