Love For The Undeserving Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 4, 2023

No Greater Love Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Feb 7, 2023

To love the unlovely and the unloveable is inconceivable. But that is just exactly what God did for all of us. We, who were corrupt through sin became the beneficiaries of eternal life through the sacrificial death of Christ.

What motivated God the Father to send His one and only cherished Son to earth to die for us? Why would the holy Son of God want to come into a wicked world? Moreover, what would prompt Him to give His life as a human sacrifice for sinful, wicked humanity? It is inherent in God’s nature to make ...read more

AN EVERLASTING LOVE. Jeremiah 31:1-6. The book of Jeremiah is mostly, but not exclusively, a book about God’s judgment.
