The grace and love of God inspires repentance. For some of us, we may have grown up with a fear of God. We heard about His justice and vengeance, and we did not want to be on the receiving end of that. It may have been an effective way of instilling values, but in that kind of religion, it’s easy to miss the true heart of God. As Pastor Bill will remind us today, God is a God of grace and He went to extreme lengths to reach your heart and bring you into right relationship with Him through Jesus.
