Psalms 89:1,2
Forever and ever I will sing about the tender kindness of the Lord! Young and old shall hear about your blessings. Your love and kindness are forever; your truth is as enduring as the heavens.
So God is KIND. This is always a revelation to me. Its not natural to think that the Supreme Being, the Man Upstairs, whatever you call God is kind. We watch the news and see all the unfairness. Its so normal to think ' If God was kind, why this and that?'
(If anyone thinks he knows all the answers, he is just showing his ignorance. I Corinthians 8:2) Soon after we learn to walk, we learn other kids are not always kind. I have been to church many times and have heard much more about what is sin and how I am supposed to behave than I've ever heard that God is kind. You imagine God might just send a lightening bolt to electrocute someone if they sin too much. But God is not only loving but full of kindness and mercy, lovingkindness I am seeing many times in the Psalms. Actually its a major theme of the entire Bible.
Some like to quote Romans 3:23. Now its all the truth but Romans 3:24 says :
yet now God declares us "not guilty" of offending him if we trust in Jesus Christ, who in his kindness freely takes away our sins.
God not only saves us from death but cares about our every need, desire, pain, and joy.
Romans 5:21 Before sin ruled over men and brought them to death, but now God's kindness rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Yes because of God's great kindness, Jesus tasted death for everyone in all world. Hebrews 2:9.b
Taste Jesus.
II Corinthians 6:1
