The following seven facts speak for themselves, that the Lord desires the welfare of men:—
1. The cross of Christ declares it (Jhn 3:16).
2. The nature of God asserts it (1Jo 4:8-9).
3. The invitations of JESUS affirm it (Mat 11:28).
4. The word of God reiterates it (Jhn 3:17-18).
5. The Spirit of God repeats it (Rev 22:17).
6. The ambassadors of the Gospel proclaim it (2Cr 5:20).
7. The tears of Christ confirm it (Luk 19:41).
But if men will not have God's mercy in love, they must have His might in judgment. He is almighty in grace (Gen 17:1), but He is also almighty to punish (Rev 15:3).
