We Love God!

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

When our inequity had come to its full height, and it was clear beyond all mistaking that retribution in the form of punishment and death must be looked for, the hour arrived in which God had determined to make known from then onwards His loving-kindness and His power. How surpassing is the love and tenderness of God! In that hour, instead of hating us and rejecting us and remembering our wickedness against us, He showed how long-suffering He is. He bore with us, and in pity He took our sins upon Himself. He gave His own Son as a ransom for us – the holy for the wicked, the sinless for sinners, the just for unjust, the incorrupt for the corrupt, the immortal for the mortal. For was there, indeed, anything except His righteousness that could have availed to cover our sins? In whom could we, in our lawlessness and ungodliness, have been made holy, but in the Son of God alone? O sweet exchange! O unsearchable working! O benefits unhoped for! – that the wickedness of multitudes should thus be hidden in the One holy, and the holiness of One should sanctify the countless wicked!

Carnality and spirituality, rather than being categories or classes into which one enters in the Christian life, are characteristics or moral tendencies which one manifests in varying degree throughout the course of the Christian life. The ideal as set forth in Scripture is, of course, a progression that is always upward – away from manifestations of carnality and toward manifestations of maturity.

12:1 Reći ćeš u dan onaj: Hvalim te, Jahve, razgnjevi se ti na mene, ali se odvratio gnjev tvoj i ti me utješi!

12:2 Evo, Bog je spasenje moje, uzdam se, ne bojim se više, jer je Jahve snaga moja i pjesma, on je moje spasenje.

12:3 I s radošću ćete crpsti vodu iz izvora spasenja.

12:4 Reći ćete u dan onaj: Hvalite Jahvu prizivajte ime njegovo! Objavite narodima djela njegova, razglašujte uzvišenost imena njegova!

12:5 Pjevajte Jahvi, jer stvori divote, neka je to znano po svoj zemlji!

12:6 Kličite i radujte se, stanovnici Siona, jer je velik među vama Svetac Izraelov!
