13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?

If not, you will never reach a point in life where you are truly satisfied, because eternity beckons in your heart.

You and I are the recipients of God’s compassion, not because of some extraordinary goodness within us, but because of God’s great compassion. “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.” (Psalm 103:8) Just as children seek to imitate their parents, so we are to imitate our heavenly Father. It is the only way we will change the world in which we live.
