We Love God!

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

[Jonathan] Edwards reminds us that God doesn’t choose men because He foresees excellence in them, but “He makes them excellent because He has chosen them.” Or again, “God doesn’t choose men and set His love upon them because they love Him, for He hath first loved us” (1 John 4:10). “Nor did God choose men because He foresaw that they would believe and come to Christ. Faith is the fruit of election and not the cause of it.” “Nor is it from any foresight of men’s endeavors after conversion, because He sees that some will do much more than others to obtain heaven, that He chooses.”
Sam Storms

Because all men be sinners and offenders against God, and breakers of His law and commandments, therefore can no man by His own acts, works, and deeds (seem they never so good) be justified, and made righteous before God: But every man of necessity is constrained to seek for another righteousness or justification, to be received at God’s own hands, that is to say, the forgiveness of his sins and trespasses, in such things as he hath offended. And this justification or righteousness, which we so receive of God’s mercy and Christ’s merits, embraced by faith, is taken, accepted, and allowed of God, for our perfect and full justification.
Thomas Cranmer

minutes, stirring occasionally.  Uncover and cook until fruit is very
tender, stirring stirring occasionally (20-30 minutes).
Cool slightly. Force fruit through food mill fitted with medium blade,
discarding peel and seeds.  (or you can do as I do, seed and pit the fruit
BEFORE cooking. Then, when you reach this stage, all you have to do is run
it through a food processor)  Return puree to pan, add sugar and cinnamon.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. (careful, mixture
can scorch easily!) Reduce heat and simmer briskly until butter is thick
and glossy, stirring frequently (about 40 minutes). Remove from heat, spoon
into hot sterilized jars and seal. Makes 3 pints jars or 6 - 8oz jars.
Butter can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, or processed in a
boiling water bath (15 minutes for pint jars or 10 minutes for 8 oz jars)
and kept on a cool dark shelf for up to 1 year.
