189 – The Freedom of the New

Whether we like it or not God has planted in us the need for Him. It is primarily a response option. He is the initiator, and we receive. We love because He first loved us. He has proven his faithfulness, established His trustworthiness and demonstrated His love. He has lavished us with His Spirit at our new birth. In an instant with an eternally originated flash we became something that hadn’t existed before: a new creation.
