Well it's been four weeks and I've been learning a ton, so I thought I'd share with you all some of the things that have really challenged me and/or resonated with me...
"True faith means holding nothing back" Frances Chan
Justice is equal to Righteousness; God always does the right thing and He is the ultimate standard of what is right.
God's character is based on his nature, His moral attributes- God is love, God is faithful, God is merciful, God is generous, God is good, God is jealous, God is just. Our character, however, is not based on our nature but on our choices.
On the topic of freewill:
1. Freewill if real.
2. God's relationship with us is based on LOVE.
3. Love without choice cannot be love.
4. Choice without freedom is not choice.
5. Freedom involves risk
6. The risk that God takes in giving us freewill:
a) people may not choose to follow and love God
b) people may choose to do evil
c) people will get hurt by those who choose to do evil
You're not really living unless you have a passion in your life worth dying for.
The motivation for evangelism should be to alleviate the pain and suffering God feels for His missing children.
Good stuff, ay?!
