The heart of God seeks the salvation of the lost. Paul reminds us of three gospel convictions that reinforce this compassion for the lost.

Children of God should have their Father’s heart in them. His Spirit within us should drive us not to personal comfort and ease but to blood-earnestness to lead others to reconciliation with God.

The church's greatest need is not better philosophy, more impressive speakers, or superior rhetoric, rather, a deeper understanding of Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross.

The Lord gave the law for our blessing. It leads us to the Savior to save us, then to train us by revealing Christ in all His righteousness that we may like Him love God and love man.
