Redeeming the Bat out of Hell in me and you through the act of becoming love

www.new-wineskins.org Peacemaking comes when we seek to act in love. Action that comes in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Christ took Action and stood for change dying for our sins because of His deep love for us.  In the truth of redemption there is found a radicalness unparalleled throughout history. That is, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is such a lover of the other, He seeks out those who are at once passionate persecutors of Him and His people. He seeks them out in love in order to redeem the bat out of hell in me and in you. It is an act of transformation - in Christ, through the Spirit. Transforming the persecutor into one passionately pursuing love (story of Paul, me & you). How is the follower of Christ to act in a time when love of self is a powerful force?
