There is no evil that the fatherโs love cannot pardon and cover, there is no sin that is a match for his grace.
Timothy KellerThe purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.
Timothy KellerWe do not have to make ourselves suffer in order to merit forgiveness. We simply receive the forgiveness earned by Christ. 1 John 1:9 says that God forgives us because He is โjust.โ That is a remarkable statement. It would be unjust of God to ever deny us forgiveness, because Jesus earned our acceptance! In religion we earn our forgiveness with our repentance, but in the gospel we just receive it.
