God doesn't say, "Love, so that I will love you." But he says, "Love, because I have loved you."
God has brought you, and me, and all of us together to receive the gospel fully, and to advance the gospel further. This is the fellowship we’ve been called into with one another. This is what gospel partnership is.
Who will be able to present you to God as one who is guiltless, and righteous? How will you respond to the suffering servant of God?
