The ultimate question that God poses to each one of us in our time and place is, Do you love Me? Everything depends on our answer to that question.

God’s love is not unilateral but deeply relational, in that it makes a profound difference to God whether or not humans reflect His love back to Him and to others.

God does not look upon us, or the gifts that we bring Him, with the attitude of that father. On the contrary, we can be pleasing to God, but only through Christ.

God’s love for us is a deeply emotional love, it should not be thought of as identical to emotions as humans expe­rience them.

Divine wrath is righteous indignation motivated by perfect goodness and love, and it seeks the flourishing of all creation.

Yahweh is deeply concerned about evil, suffering, injustice, and oppression—all of which He constantly and unequivocally condemns.

The God of the Bible is entirely good, and we can trust Him—even despite the evil that so infects our fallen world.

God grants humans free will, even to the point where they (and angels) can choose to act directly against His will.

Where does Scripture teach that there is a cosmic conflict between God and Satan? According to Scripture, what is the nature of the conflict?

Behind the false “gods” of the nations, then, were actually demons in disguise. This means, then, that all of the texts of Scripture dealing with idolatry and the foreign gods are “cosmic conflict” texts.

Where is God when there is suffering? If God is good, why is there so much evil? The cosmic conflict sheds light on this crucial issue.

God loves justice. Accordingly, if we love God, we will love justice, as well. Likewise, if we love God, we will love one another.
