In Genesis 1:26-27, God said, “‘Let us make man in our image according to our likeness. Let them rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, over the cattle in all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’ And God created man in his own image, [...]

It’s common in our culture today to justify our actions or lifestyle choices based upon only doing what our heart led us to do whether it’s something positive like donating to a charity or pursuing an adulterous affair; supposedly our heart can tell us to do either or both. Jon Bloom warns, “Princess Diana once [...]

“You have heard that the ancients were told, ‘You shall not commit murder’ and ‘whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’ “But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever shall say to his brother, ‘Raca,” shall be guilty before the [...]

Human rights. The general consensus among people in the world today is in support of the protection, advocacy and defense of human dignity.

Moving from a discussion of God’s love within His intratrinitarian Persons (see here) and God’s provisional love for all of His creation (see here), we move now to discuss yet another aspect of God’s other-orientation and self-giving love in this third installment within this series on God’s love—God’s general love for all mankind.
