Gospel Reflections #213: God is not a Moral Police

Proverbs 15:3 "Everywhere the eyes of the Lord are on you/ He watches over the good and the wicked."

God is not watching over us; rather, He is working over us.

It is for all people, both good and evil.

Proverbs 15 is written in contrast to the good and the wicked, but God does not bless the good and curse and punish the wicked.

Our God is a God of love, no matter how far He goes.

I believe that God respects our free will so much that He grieves over the fate of those who do not choose Him, is patient with them, and wants to somehow provide an opportunity for their salvation.

Proverbs 15 tells us that we will end up in different places depending on our choices. But God is at work, wanting to save everyone.

It is not a question of whether we are good or bad, but rather, God loves all people and wants them to be saved.

We tend to focus on judging people as good or bad, but God is looking at all of us, and God never puts us into categories of good or bad. God works until the very end to save everyone.

The more we know who God is and the more we know how much He has done for us, the more we want to choose Him. God's love radiates such power!
