Turn with me, if you will, to
the Gospel of Hosea. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations,
Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea. I had planned to preach to you
this evening from the marvelous declaration given in the opening
verse of John Chapter 13 Concerning our Lord Jesus, having loved
his own which were in the world, he loved them to the end. And that'll have to wait until
I get back from California, but I'll give you the outline and
you can be working on it in your own mind. The Lord Jesus loved
his own. He loved his own which were in
the world. and he loved them to the end. But when I started
preparing that message, I went back to the Old Testament scriptures
looking at the promises and pictures and prophecies concerning the
love of God for his people given in the Old Testament scriptures.
And when I got to Hosea chapter 14, I knew I could proceed no
further. Here is God's great promise of
grace to sinners who come to him for mercy in Christ Jesus. Are you listening? I will heal their backsliding. I will love them freely. That's my subject. I will love
them freely, for mine anger is turned away from him. In verses
five and six, the Lord tells us how he will heal the apostasy
of sinners by his grace. He says, I will be as dew unto
Israel. He shall grow as the lily and
cast forth his roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread and
his beauty shall be as the olive tree and the smell as Lebanon. I'll make him to live. I'll make
him prosper. I'll make him fruitful. Then
in verses seven and eight, the Lord calls our attention to a
specific people. A people who are the objects
of his grace. a specific people whom he has
loved distinctly with an everlasting love, a people who demonstrate
the infinite freeness of his love by their own character and
their own behavior. In these two verses, our great
and gracious God declares that the salvation of some sinners
is a matter of absolute certainty. There are some sinners in this
world to whom God Almighty will be gracious. There's an elect
multitude who fully deserve his everlasting wrath. A great multitude
who fully deserve to be forever abandoned by God in hell. A great
multitude who have merited eternal damnation. But the Lord God has
determined to save them. Look at verse seven. They that
dwell under his shadow shall return. They shall revive as
the corn and grow as the vine. The scent thereof shall be as
the wine of Lebanon. Ephraim, Ephraim. Strange that he should choose
that name to identify the people of his love. Ephraim he said
in chapter 4 is joined to his idols leave him alone But he
says Ephraim shall say What have I to do anymore with idols I've heard him and Observed him
the Lord says I am like a green fir tree from me is thy fruit
found. Yes, there is a people, a great
multitude, scattered among the nations of the earth, here called
Ephraim, who dwell under the shadow of the Almighty, who must
be saved. The seventh verse is talking
about God's elect. Both those who are already saved
and those who shall be saved, they dwell under his shadow. They shall return. They shall
revive, they shall grow, and they shall possess all the beauty
of Christ. The scent thereof shall be as
the wine of Lebanon. Like Ephraim, God's elect, you
and me, you who know our God and you who do not, God's elect
scattered through all the earth, through all the ages of time,
like Ephraim, are a people deserving to be abandoned by God forever. But they are his people and they
shall be saved. Ephraim was full of sin. Ephraim
was idolatrous. Ephraim was joined to his idols
and would not let them go. would not hear reproof, would
not hear correction, would not be broken, would not be turned. Ephraim was a people so obstinately
joined to their idols that God told his prophet to leave them
alone. In chapter 13, we're told Ephraim was dead. But Ephraim
was still God's. Isn't that amazing? Still God's. Go back to chapter 11, chapter
11, verse 8. How shall I give thee up, O Ephraim? I won't give you up. I won't let you go. I will not execute the fierceness
of mine anger. I will not return to destroy
Ephraim. For I'm God and not a man. Look at chapter 13 verse 4. Yet
I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt. That is, I'm the
one who brought you out of Egypt. I'm your redeemer. And thou shalt
know no God but me. You hold on to your idols. You
love your idols. You cherish your idols. You will
not let go of your idols, but you will know no God but me.
For there is no Savior beside me. Verse 9, O Israel, thou hast
destroyed thyself. That's us. But in me is thine help. Verse
14. I will ransom them from the power
of the grave. I will redeem them from death.
O death, I will be thy plagues. O grave, I will be thy destruction. Repentance shall be hid from
mine eyes. God says, I won't let you go.
Because I'm not a man and I won't repent. I called you mine. I chose you as mine. I named
you as mine. I said Ephraim is mine and I
won't let you go. Thank God he's not a man. Repentance
is not in him. He gave us the blessings of his
grace in Christ Jesus before the world began and the gifts
and callings of our God are without repentance. Reverse 8 again. and hear what God says about
Ephraim whom he's chosen. Ephraim shall say, Hosea 14 verse
8. Ephraim shall say, what have
I to do anymore with idols? The Lord says, I've heard him.
I've heard him. I've observed him. I'm like a
green fir tree. From me, he says, is thy fruit
found. What did he hear Ephraim say?
Look at verse 1. O Israel, return unto the Lord,
the Lord thy God, for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Take
with you words and turn to the Lord and say to him, you here
who do not know our God, turn to the Lord. Take words in your
mouth from your heart. and say to him, take away all
iniquity and receive us graciously. So will we render the calves
of our lips. So will we praise you. Asher
shall not save us. We will not ride upon horses.
Neither will we say any more to the work of our hands. We'll
quit trusting men. We'll quit trusting chariots.
We'll quit trusting horses. We'll quit trusting our imaginary
gods. We will say no more to the work
of our hands. Ye are our gods. For in thee,
O God, in thee, the fatherless find mercy. Come back to Jeremiah. Hold your hands here in Hosea.
Come back to Jeremiah. Chapter 31, verse 18. The Lord says here in Hosea 14,
8, I've heard it. In chapter 31, verse 18, here's
what he heard. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning
himself thus. Thou hast chastened me and I
was chastised as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke. Turn thou me and
I shall be turned for thou art the Lord my God. God said concerning
Ephraim, I've observed him. I'm reminded of the prodigal.
When he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion
on him. God observed you. When you chose your idols, and
chose your abominations, and chose wickedness. God says, I've
observed him. He says, I am a green fir tree. This is our God speaking, our
savior, our all glorious Christ. The green fir tree described
here is not like any fir I've seen. I'm told that it had branches
that hung so low to the ground that anyone who wanted to could
get hold of it. It is a tree that foliage is
so thick, so heavy that you could stand under its branches in the
midst of a storm and be sheltered from the storm. Its fragrance
was sweet, but subtle, not overpowering, yet anyone who just rubbed against
it came away the smell of that fir tree on him. Read the last
line of verse 8 and learn its doctrine. From me is thy fruit
found. From me is thy fruit found. The fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance,
against such there is no law. That's the fruit of the Spirit.
From me is thy fruit found. Grace is God's gift. It is God's gift initially and
it is God's gift continually. If we live, it's because he gives
us life. If we believe, it's because he
gives us faith. If we love Him, it's because
He works love in us. Not just that He did so once
and now we work those things out. But it is God that worketh
in you continually, both to do will and to do of His good pleasure.
So that if right now you believe Him, it's because God continually
works faith in you. What are you saying, preacher?
Salvation. is not something you do, not
in any aspect of it. Salvation is God's work for you
and God's work in you. This is God's method of grace.
God Almighty saves whom he will. Those he saves are the most obstinate,
undeserving, apostate rebels found among men. Just ask them. Just ask them. They will everyone
acknowledge it. He saves them in such a way that
their salvation glorifies him. Look at chapter 14, verse 9. His ways are right. Who is wise? And he shall understand these
things. Prudent, and he shall know them. That is those whom
God has made wise. For the ways of the Lord right. He brought Israel all along the
way. Ephraim all along the way all
these hundreds of years to this spot. To where the Ephraim now
is turned to the Lord and begs God to turn him and says, if
you turn me, I shall be turned. Ephraim takes with him words
of repentance to God. He brought him all this way through
all the course of his history. And the prophet here says the
ways of the Lord are right. All his ways. They're right. And the just shall walk in them. But the transgressors They'll
see this, and it'll be a stumbling block to them. They'll trip over
God's ways. They'll trip over God's way. They'll trip over God's revelation.
They'll trip over God in the way and go to hell. The transgressors
shall fall thereby. Now, let's look at our text,
verse four. I want to take just this one
sentence in this fourth verse and milk it all I can. The Lord
God says, I will love them freely. Oh, how I love that word freely. Have you ever noticed how the
word is used throughout the scriptures with reference to all God's goodness
and God's work? In the very beginning, even before
Adam and Eve fell in the garden, the Lord seemed to point out
the original parents of the race. The fact that everything our
race gains from God by his grace is free. After the fall, all
of salvation is described as something that's free. Back in
Genesis 2, you don't need to turn there. Let me read these
scriptures to you. The Lord commanded man saying, of every tree of
the garden, thou mayest freely eat. Our Lord sent his disciples
out preaching and said, freely you've received, freely give.
We're justified freely by his grace. God who spared not his
own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not
also with him freely give us all things? We've received the
spirit freely. And God's caused us to know things
that are freely given to us of him. He said, it is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and the end. I will give unto him that is
a thirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. And the
spirit and the bride say, come and let him that is a thirst
or let him that heareth say, come and let him that is a thirst
come. And whosoever will, let him take
of the water of life freely. God's salvation is free. Every aspect of God's salvation
is free. The love of God is free. The grace of God is free. Salvation is free. The Lord God
says, I will love them freely. This is his answer to the prayer
of penitent sinners, begging God, receive us graciously. He says, I will love you freely.
Now, God's love doesn't begin with our repentance, you know
that. But the knowledge of it does. The experience of it does. God doesn't make it known to
anyone personally, his everlasting love for them. Until they themselves
believe on his son and believing on his son the Lord God gives
you his love freely and the reason you believe is because he loved
you freely from eternity and His love bestowed upon you freely
is the gift of God to faith in Christ Jesus the Lord that word
freely implies so much It's commonly translated without a cause. Our
Lord Jesus said they hated me without a cause. Same word. I will love you with no cause. No cause. To love freely is to
love without condition or qualification. To love freely is to love without
measure. To love freely is to love without
beginning, without end, without variation. God's love is free. There's nothing in us to motivate
it. Nothing in us to merit it. Nothing in us to influence it. Now, all those things, Mark,
are wonderful. We don't merit His love. We don't
motivate his love. We don't inspire his love. We
don't influence his love. But I think maybe this is the
most wonderful of all. There's nothing in us to destroy
his love. His love's free. His love's free. Say, well, if he loves somebody,
You can never destroy that love. I wouldn't try it if I were you. I wouldn't try it. God's love
is free. Not mine, not yours. It ought
to be, but it's not. God's love is free. It is totally
uninfluenced by us. Uninfluenced by anything that
men might supposed to be good and attractive in them and uninfluenced
by anything that men know to be evil in them. I will love
them freely. Everything hinges upon that word
freely. God's love gushes out to sinners
as a mighty river from heaven to earth freely. The fact is
the Holy Lord God could not love you or me in any other way. If it depended on you for something,
what in you would attract His love? If it depended on me, what
is there in me or about me or done by me that might attract
His love? The only way in which God in His love The infinite, holy
Lord God can come down to fallen, guilty sinners is freely. This is spontaneous love flowing
forth to those who didn't deserve it, who didn't purchase it, who
didn't seek it, who didn't even want it. Free love. I will love them freely. That which is free comes without
money and without price. It's opposed to all idea of bargaining
and bartering. He who gives freely gives only
because there's a need, expects nothing in return. That which
is free is without compensation. That which is free is spontaneous
without inducement of any kind. How can I describe, how can I
speak of the freeness of God's love? There's no adequate picture
of it in heaven or in earth. No adequate picture even given
in the scriptures. And we have many pictures of
his love. Oh, Adam loved his wife Eve. And that's a marvelous
picture of the love of God for us. Adam loved Eve so much that
he plunged himself and his race into damnation under the curse
of God rather than be separated from her. As our Lord Jesus plunged
himself under the curse of God, made sin for his bride because
of his love for us. Jacob loved Rachel. He loved Rachel and served seven
years for her. And he got tricked and got Leah. and served another seven years
for Rachel. He said it was just like a day. It was just like
a day. Boaz loved Ruth and did everything
needful for Ruth. Hosea loved Gomer, that harlot,
that harlot who continued to have the harlot's heart even
after the prophet married her and abandoned him. Yet he still
loved her. The father, we're described,
we're told in the book of Luke, is pictured as loving that prodigal. Kept his eye on him all the time
he was gone, watched over him. The prodigal comes home and the
father saw him when he had a great way off and ran him, had compassion
on him and ran to him and fell on his neck and kissed him and
kissed him and kissed him. But if we would see the love
of God for us, if we would know anything about this love so graciously
bestowed on sinners that's described here as free, we've got to look
to God himself in the person of his darling son. Let me show
you three aspects, three things about this love, and I'll wrap
this up quickly. but I hope it won't be wrapped
up in your heart. First, this free love of God
for his people is covenant love. Turn to Jeremiah 31. Let's go back to the time when
there was no time. When God dwelt alone in his ineffable
glory in the three persons of the Godhead, Father, Son, and
Holy Ghost. Back yonder in old eternity,
the Lord God loved us with an everlasting love. And that kind
of love, eternal covenant love, must be free. Jeremiah 31 begins
with God declaring to the prophet in verse three, The Lord hath
appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an
everlasting love. Therefore because I loved you
with loving-kindness have I drawn thee look at verse 31 Now the
Prophet is given a message concerning God's love for his covenant people
verse 31 behold The days come saith the Lord that I will make
a new covenant with the house of Israel Now we know this is
talking about God's elect in this age because in the book
of Hebrews the Holy Spirit tells us This is what it's talking
about This is called a new covenant, but it's the everlasting covenant
because it is newly revealed. The old covenant is revealed
first, the old covenant of works and law and condemnation. The
new covenant of grace is revealed in the gospel by Christ Jesus
the Lord. But this new covenant, this is
the old everlasting covenant. A new covenant will I make with
the house of Israel. That is, I'll reveal it to them
and with the house of Judah. Not according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by
the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. What covenant
was that? This do and thou shalt live.
All they had to do was do what God said and they'd live. That's
when they all died. This covenant, my covenant they
broke, although I was a husband unto them that saith the Lord. Verse 33. But this shall be the
covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those
days saith the Lord This is God's covenant. This is this is what
God does for sinners when he reveals Christ in us. This is
what God does for sinners when he saves them by his grace. This
is what God does for every sinner when he's born again by his spirit,
when Christ is revealed in you. God makes his covenant with you.
That is, he establishes and reveals in your heart his covenant. And
this is what he says, I'll put my law in their inward parts.
Put my law in them. Oh, wait a minute, Brother Don.
Romans 1 and 2 tells us that the law of God's written on the
heart by nature Yeah, it's written there so that all men are condemned
by the law The law is written there as a condemning letter
by the law We are condemned so that all men by nature know the
difference between good and evil and choose the evil and are thereby
condemned When he says put his law in our hearts, he's talking
about putting a new nature in us, a nature that loves God's
law. So that Paul says, I delight
in the law of God after the Edward man. There is in us that that
loves God and loves holiness and loves righteousness and loves
truth. And that that is in us is that
new man created in righteousness and true holiness. I'll put my
law in their heart, the Lord says. I'll write it in their
hearts and will be their God and they shall be my people and
they shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man
his brother saying know the Lord for they shall all know me from
the least of them and to the greatest of them sayeth the Lord
they shall know me for this reason I will forgive their iniquity
and I will remember their sins no more look at chapter 32 Jeremiah
32 verse 37 God still describing this covenant Behold I will gather
them verse 37 I will gather them out of all countries whether
I had driven them in mine anger and in my fury and in great wrath
and I will bring them again unto this place and I will cause them
to dwell safely and And they shall be my people, and I will
be their God. He repeats that. I think he means
for us to know it. They shall be my people, and
I will be their God. They shall be mine distinctly. They shall know they are mine
distinctly, and I will be theirs distinctly. They shall know that
I am theirs distinctly, and I will give them one heart and one way
that they may fear me forever for the good of them and for
their children after them. Verse 40. And I will make an
everlasting covenant with them. Listen to it now. Listen to what
God says. I will make them to know. I will not turn away from them. No matter what. No matter what. Oh, you can't say that. No, I
know I can't. Folks hate. No matter what. God
said, I will not turn away from them. to do them good. But I will put my fear in their
hearts that they shall not depart from me. Prone to wonder. Lord, I feel it prone to leave
the God I love. Here's my heart. Oh, take and
seal it, seal it for thy courts above. They shall not leave me,
he says. I will rejoice over them To do
them good, I will plant them in the land assuredly. What's
this now? This is God talking. This is
God talking. God the Son, our covenant mediator. I'll do this with my whole heart
and with my whole soul. How can I persuade you of the
freeness of God's love? I'm lost in the wonder of it.
And I'm certainly at a loss trying to set it before you. What can
I say? His love is covenant love. His
love is Calvary love. Turn to John chapter 3. Oh, look
away yonder to Calvary. Look away to Christ crucified
on the cursed tree and behold the love of God manifest in all the fullness of its glorious
brilliance John 3 verse 16 God so loved people say the love of God is
like you missed it, it ain't oh no, he so loved so indescribably,
so magnanimously, so freely, so infinitely, so fully loved
the world. Obviously, he's talking about
his elect scattered through all the world. The world of his elect
lost centers in this world of darkness. He so loved the world
of his elect that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. When
we were yet without strength in due time, Christ died for
the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous
man will one die, yet per adventure for a good man some would even
dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward
us, and that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Turn to 1 John chapter 4. John says in chapter 3, hereby
perceive we the love of God because he laid down his life for us.
In chapter 4, verse 10, you want to see love here in his love. Here it is here. Here's here's
love. Not that we loved God. Oh, no. Understanding what little I do
about His love for me, I can't talk any about my love for Him.
Not that we loved God. Well, don't you love Him? Yes,
I do, but that's not love. Herein is love, that He loved
us and sent His Son to be the justice satisfying, sin atoning
sacrifice, the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so
loved us, we ought also to love one another. Look at verse 19. We love him. That's a true confession
of every believer. If any man love not the Lord
Jesus Christ, let him be anathema maranatha, let him be damned,
the Lord's coming. We love Him. We do. We don't
love Him as we ought. We don't love Him as we shall,
but love Him we do. We love Him because our love
is not in any way the cause of His love for us. His love for
us is the cause of our loving Him. We love Him because He first
loved us. He loved us before we loved Him. Our love is the response of His
love to us. His love for us is the cause
of our loving Him. Behold the Son of God hanging on the curse tree and
understand something of the love of God. He said, I will love them freely.
And here it is. God the Son died for sinners
who deserve to die. The Lord Jesus died for sinners
who wished with all their hearts that he might be made to die.
The Lord of glory died for sinners bearing our sins. made sin for
us, and suffering all the wrath of God that we deserved. He died
for us, our substitute, suffering the just for the unjust that
he might bring us to God because he loved us. Because he loved
us. He loved us and gave himself
for us. Now listen to me. Listen to me. He loved us, Brother Emmett,
and gave himself for us, knowing that he would get no love in
return except he create it and sustain it. I will love them freely, he said. Calvary love is free love. Amazing love, how can it be? that thou, my God, shouldst die
for me. One more thing. One more thing. How can I make you to see the
freeness of God's love for us? Turn to Ezekiel 60. Ezekiel chapter 60. His love is Covenant love his
love is Calvary love But his love is converting love effectual
regenerating converting love To speak of God's love Toward
many women who go to hell anyway is the greatest blasphemy I can
imagine to speak of God loving people and then declare that
his love is useless and Declare that his love is meaningless.
Declare that his love can't do anything. That his love is helpless. It's to declare that he is no
God at all, and you may as well cling to the work of your hands
and call it God. Oh, no. God's love, his free
love, is effectual, regenerating, converting love. Ezekiel 16,
verse 1. I'll just read the prophecy. Again, the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying, Son of man, call Jerusalem to know her abominations. And say, thus saith the Lord
God unto Jerusalem, thy birth and thy nativity is of the land
of Canaan. Thy father was an Amorite, and
thy mother a Hittite. Your mama was a cursed woman,
and your daddy was a cursed man. You came from cursed peoples.
And as for thy nativity, In the day that thou was born, thy navel
was not cut. Neither was thou washed in water
to supple thee. Thou was not salted at all, nor
swallowed at all. In other words, somebody aborted
you and threw you away. None eye pitied thee to do any
of these things unto thee, to have compassion upon thee. But
thou was cast out in the open field, to the loathing of thy
person in the day that thou was born. I think I told you this right
after it happened, but I don't even remember the name of the
show. Doug and Faith and the kids were over here one evening
and the show came on and said, you want to see this? I've never
seen folks go in and help people who've got business and so forth,
disabled folks, and help them get things established, running
well. This particular night, there was a fellow from Cairo,
Egypt. He ran a little coffee stand, just insignificant coffee
stand. He was terribly mangled, crippled,
and they came in and made him Beautiful. You remember, beautiful
coffee stand. Just, I mean, it put Starbucks
to shame. He served good coffee. It put Starbucks to shame. But
then he told his story. He said, when I was born, my mama threw
me in a garbage can. Reason I'm in this shape. Folks
who raised me, the ones who adopted me, found me in a garbage can. That's where God found you. That's
where the Savior found me. In the garbage dump of fallen
humanity. Read this now. He said, you were
cast out in the open field to the loathing, to the obnoxious
hating of your person in the day that thou was born. And when
I passed by thee and saw thee polluted in thine own blood,
I said unto thee, when thou wast in thy blood, live. Yea, I said
unto thee, when thou wast in thy blood, live. Verse 8. And when I passed by thee and
looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love. I will love them freely. And I spread my skirt. over thee,
the skirt of perfect righteousness, and covered thy nakedness, like
Shem and Japheth went in the tent and covered Noah's nakedness,
covered your sin. Yea, I swear unto thee, and entered
into a covenant with thee. I made you to know all the blessedness
of covenant grace, saith the Lord God. And thou became as mine. Then
I washed thee with water, washing the water by the word and regeneration.
Yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee and anointed
thee with oil. I washed away your sin, put my
spirit in you. And I clothed thee with broadened
work and shod thee with badger skin and girded thee about with
fine linen, the righteousness of the saints and covered thee
with silk. I decked thee also with ornaments
and put bracelets upon thy hands and a chain on thy neck and put
a jewel on thy forehead and earrings in thine ears and a beautiful
crown upon thine head. And thou wast decked with gold
and silver and thy raiment was of fine linen and silk and brooded
work. Thou didst eat fine flour and
honey and oil Thou wast exceeding beautiful. Imagine that. And thou didst prosper into a
kingdom. And thy renown went forth among the heathen. You
were made known famously among the heathen for thy beauty. For it was perfect through my
comeliness which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God." Look
at verse 60, the same chapter, Ezekiel 60. Nevertheless, in this chapter,
the Lord, He tells us, this is where I found you, this is what
I did for you, and you rebelled and rebelled and you fell and
you fell and you sinned and you sinned and you transgressed and
you transgressed. And if you lead a holy life,
God shall be gracious to you. Folks who lead a holy life don't
need any grace, Merle. They don't need any grace. Read
the chapter. You, from the day that I called
you, you know it so. Your heart has still been by
nature a cesspool of iniquity. You've never improved one iota.
Now read on, verse 60. Nevertheless, oh, I love it when
God says, nevertheless, I will remember my covenant with thee
in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an
everlasting covenant. Then, then, then shalt thou remember
thy ways and be ashamed. Oh my God, these 43 years, I have walked in your grace,
under the shadow of your wing, in the constant experience of
your love, and I look back over these 43 years with greater shame than the shame
I have for the previous years. I'm ashamed. Ashamed of what
I know I am. Ashamed of what's in me. Ashamed
of what I've done. Ashamed. Then thou shalt be ashamed. When thou shalt receive thy sisters,
thine elder and thy younger, and I will give them unto thee
for daughters, but not by thy covenant, Now because of you
did I will establish my covenant with thee and thou shalt know
that I am the Lord that thou mayest remember and
be confounded and never open thy mouth anymore because of
thy shame when I am pacified toward thee
for all that thou hast done. I will love them freely. Covenant
love. Calvary love. Converting love. That's His free love. Amen.
