The Bible’s core theme is God’s limitless love and grace.
Until we understand the biblical concept of God’s unmerited love, most of the biblical text cannot be interpreted in any positive way. It is the key to everything transformative in the Bible. People who have not experienced the radical character of grace will always misinterpret the meaning and major direction of the Bible.
Grace and love will not be understood by any ledger of merits and demerits. They cannot be held by patterns of buying, losing, earning, or achieving, which is where most of us live our lives.
Grace is God eternally giving away Himself—for nothing—except the giving itself. Grace is the life energy that makes flowers bloom, babies smile, and the planets remain in their orbits—for no good reason whatsoever—except love alone.
Luke 12:37 “The servants who are ready and waiting for his return will be rewarded. I tell you the truth, he himself will seat them, put on an apron, and serve them as they sit and eat!”
