Hell is having to execute a pointless act from which nothing ever comes except the need to do it again.

The resurrection was God's way of stamping PAID IN FULL right across history so that nobody could miss it.

Faith in God's promises means not always following the expected, rational path.

All life-changing love is inconvenient.

[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace. The alternative to this view is to identify something besides sin as the main problem with the world and something besides God as the main remedy. That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.

Because sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge just as each son sought to displace the authority of the father in his own life.

We are so evil and sinful and flawed that Jesus had to die for us... But we are so lobed and valued that he was willing to due for us.
