Accepts and Endures
He Accepts It and Endures It.
And the Final Result?
He Reaches the End Triumphantly.

GALATIANS 5.22
And the fruit of the Spirit is: love,
=====
ROMANS 8.29
because whom He foreknew, He also foreordained, conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be firstborn among many brothers;
=====
2 CORINTHIANS 3.5-6
not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God, who also made us sufficient [to be] servants of the New Covenant, not of letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, and the Spirit makes alive.
=====
JOHN 15.9
According as the Father loved Me, I also loved you, remain in My love;
=====
ROMANS 13.8
To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other—he has fulfilled law,
=====
2 PETER 2.21-25
for to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving to you an example, that you may follow His steps, who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in His mouth, who being reviled—was not reviling again, suffering—was not threatening, and was committing Himself to Him who is judging righteously, who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that having died to sins, we may live to righteousness, by whose stripes you were healed; for you were as sheep going astray, but now you turned back to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
HEBREWS 12.1-3
Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, having put off every weight, and the closely besetting sin, may we run the contest that is set before us through endurance, looking to the Author and Perfecter of the faith—Jesus, who, for the joy set before Him, endured a cross, having despised shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God; for again consider Him who endured such contradiction from the sinners to Himself, that you may not be wearied in your souls—being faint.
A Fresh Act of God Every Time
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit.
It will take a Fresh Act of God EVERY TIME to Produce someone who is Truly a Child of His.
Unchangeable Love
And this is an Unchangeable Love!
Having Loved His Own which were in the world, He Loved Them to the end.
The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but My Kindness Shall Not Depart From Thee.
I Shall Not Leave Thee, Until I Have Done That Which I Have Spoken To Thee Of.
As the Father Hath Loved Me, So I Have Loved You!
Restricted By God
And God has Appointed A Day when the Kingdom Shall Be Retaken and His Son Shall Be King Over this world.
Yet before that time arrives God only permits Satan to remain active, while He Himself Holds the reins of government of this world.
Satan may rule over all that belongs to Satan himself, he may even persecute all that belongs to God; NONETHELESS all of this is but for awhile.
And even in this short while, Satan is Entirely Restricted By God.
He may harass the Saints but only within certain limits.
Aside from what God Permits, the enemy has NO AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER.
Merciful
I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and I will remember their sins and their lawlessnesses no more. HEB 8.12
God in Christ Forgiving our sins.
He not only Forgives them but also remembers them no more.
He can forget our sins, not because He has overlooked them nor because He has tried not to remember, but BECAUSE the Blood of Christ has Blotted Out our transgressions and Washed our sins Away.
He Will Unquestionably Be Merciful.
He Will Most Certainly Not Remember!
This is the New Covenant! This is the Gospel!
Like Him
God Wants to have a man, a man who has Dominion Over this earth.
This will Satisfy His Heart.
He Wants a man to be Like Him so that when people touch one another they may Touch the Character of God.
