Nashville First Seventh-Day Adventist Church Audio PodcastChurch Service Video @ http://youtube.com/nfsdachurchGod's greatest desire is for you to see a clear picture of His character. When you see Him clearly, you will find His love irresistible.For many, "seeing God clearly" requires that they see God's face. However, how He looks is not the issue. Seeing and understanding His character is what's most important. The more clearly we understand Him, the more we will find His love irresistible. As we begin to experience His love, our own lives will begin to make more sense.God most clearly reveals His character in three great events. The first is His creation of man and woman--and His giving them the freedom of choice. He created humans with the ability to choose to love Him or to hate Him! The death of Jesus Christ, God's only Son, on the cross as our substitute is the second great event. In that act He paid the penalty we deserve for our hateful choices toward God and His ways.
