The more I read, study, and reflect on Scripture, the more I realize God is a God of Love and the entire Bible has to be read from the point of view of God’s Love

“LOVE COVERS ALL SINS” (Proverbs 10:12) * “Mercy triumphs over judgment” (James 2:13 & 5:20) * “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7)

Exodus 29:45 -- I will dwell among the children of Israel and I will be their God. [JHK Note: God has always wanted to live among us and be our God and Counselor. Genesis 3:8-9 & 4:6-8. Jesus came as Emmanuel = God with us. Exodus 40:34-38]

“He who sins is of the Devil, for the Devil has sinned from the beginning.” (1 Peter 3:8a) “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” (1 Peter 3:8b)

“I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. (John 12:47) “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” (Luke 5:32) “The Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” (Luke 9:56) “The Son of Man has come to seek and to save those who were lost.” (Luke 19:10)

Luke 6:38 -- “Give, and it will be given to you! Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom; for with the same measure that you use, if will be measured back to you.”

(1) A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. (2) So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. “Put this money to work,” he said, “until I come back.” (3) But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, “We don’t want this man to be our king.”

GENESIS: ABRAHAM to MELCHIZEDEK -- Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was the priest of God Most High. He blessed him and said: “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, Who delivered your enemies into your hand.” And Abram gave him a tithe of all he had. (Genesis 14:18-20)(See also Psalm 110:4 & Hebrews 7:1-10)

A friend loves at all times (and a brother is born for a time of adversity. Proverbs 17:17. *
