But if He slew everyone of us prepared to put himself first, there would be none of us left. He came the way of love, which knows that we are not made better by force. The only thing that can really change us is love. It changes us inside. Force deals only with the outside of a person. When God came to save us from sin, He used not force but love - love that brought Him to a stinking stable and a cruel cross. -- Dr. Norman Nagel, Selected Sermons, pp. 327.
