We Love God!

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

God's stern hatred of evil is a necessary part of His love for man.
Robert Mounce

We need not wonder that so much importance is attached to our Lord’s resurrection. It is the seal and headstone of the great work of redemption, which He came to do. It is the crowning proof that He has paid the debt which He undertook to pay on our behalf, won the battle which He fought to deliver us from hell, and is accepted as our Surety and our Substitute by our Father in heaven. Had He never come forth from the prison of the grave, how could we ever have been sure that our ransom had been fully paid? (1 Cor. 15:17.) Had He never risen from His conflict with the last enemy, how could we have felt confident, that He has overcome death, and him that had the power of death, that is the devil? (Heb. 2:14.) But thanks be unto God, we are not left in doubt. The Lord Jesus really “rose again for our justification.” True Christians are “begotten again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” They may boldly say with Paul, “Who is he that condemns – it is Christ that died, yes rather that is risen again” (Rom. 8:34. Rom. 4:25. 1 Pet. 1:3).

Bible – russian – Синодальный перевод Псалтырь 128

128
Песнь восхождения.
Много теснили меня от юности моей, да скажет Израиль:
много теснили меня от юности моей, но не одолели меня.
На хребте моем орали оратаи, проводили длинные борозды свои.
Но Господь праведен: Он рассек узы нечестивых.
Да постыдятся и обратятся назад все ненавидящие Сион!
Да будут, как трава на кровлях, которая прежде, нежели будет исторгнута, засыхает,
которою жнец не наполнит руки своей, и вяжущий снопы – горсти своей;
и проходящие мимо не скажут: “благословение Господне на вас; благословляем вас именем Господним!”
