I am too often presented with the idea that mankind is this wretched fallen filth that God graciously stooped low, very low at that, to redeem. This stooping was inspired by some form of undeserved, pathetic pity. Man needs the redemptive work of God. However that redemption was inspired from a place of overwhelming, incomprehensible love. Love has always been the inspiration God had for mankind. Love, from a God who believed mankind, you and I, that we are so redemption. worthy. We are worth it!
