--GOD'S GOODNESS AND LOVE ~~

---Being raised with some semblance of Christianity and some knowledge of the Bible many of these [Progressive Christianity] leaving the Evangelical church have a view of church and has made them question their faith in a big way.

They often embrace the believe that God gives beauty for ashes but are not sure how that redemption comes about. They also don't seem to argue with the truth that "God is good", however, His goodness may not be part of their experience. Many of them also believe that "God is love," but their perception of that love is flawed. It is possible that few of them know what God's love really looks like. Many Progressive Christians are outspokenly against the idea that God would send His Son to a gruesome death on the cross, further demonstrating that they have not yet understood the nature of God's love.

Jesus' death as an atoning sacrifice for humanity is the point at which God's great love converges with His justice toward the rebellion of His creation. It is the revelation of such a love that provokes the soul to repentance and absolute surrender to His great mercy. God's unending love is inherent in His nature and fully revealed in His Son, Jesus Christ, the crucified risen Christ. To justify their confusion, many questioning souls have created a God of tolerance and acceptance who embraces sin, rather than a Holy God who knew no sin and yet becomes sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21} . .

"He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness God." --
