The LOVE of God Expressed via SOLA SCRIPTURA

And from Jesus Christ, 

...the first begotten of the dead, 

Unto Him that loved us, 

and washed us from our sins in His own blood...

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, 

I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; 

but that the wicked turn from his way and live: 

turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; 

Q: for why will ye die?

And rend your heart, 

and not your garments, 

and turn unto the LORD your God: 

for He is gracious and merciful, 

slow to anger, and of great kindness, 

He is eager to relent and not punish.

... the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
