So St. Paul can argue that Christ's resurrection is tied to forgiveness: "if Christ is not raised, then you are still in your sins." It's to learn to know God out from what He did for you upon the Tree and to see that as the foundation on which all other things rest.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-5146537844527790312011-05-10T20:38:36.430-05:002011-05-10T20:38:36.430-05:00God's LOVE is the foundation of the

God's love was<br />responsible for the fact that He <br />forgives our sins for the sake of<br />His Son Jesus Christ.<br /><br />However, this LOVE of God is shown<br />in other ways besides forgiveness.<br />Out of love God does not always<br />answer our prayers the way we expect. God empowers us to have<br />faith in Christ because He loves us<br />He does what is best for us because<br />He loves. This is also Gospel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
