Description
From the Back Cover
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. ~ 2 Cor. 5:14-15, NIV
The story line of the New Testament is an astounding declaration of love. Written in an easy-to-read and well-documented style, Dr. Thomas Olbricht has provided us with an inspiring look at God’s unexpected, unrelenting, and unfathomable love for His creation. His Love Compels traces the gracious love of the Father as he…
Came in the Flesh
Was Anointed by the Holy Spirit
Lived an Unblemished Life
Preached the Word
Gave His Life a Ransom for All
Was Raised for Our Justification
Sent Out Witnesses
Called the Church into Being
Proclaimed His Return to Claim His Own
God is more than a deity who loves to reach out and touch someone. He makes it clear, despite certain characterizations of the biblical God to the contrary, that he is not the sort to hold his universe and man in it at arm’s length. He constantly reaches out and embraces all that is his. But more importantly, in sending the Son, he provides a remedy for the age-old scourge of human rebelliousness. The message of the New Testament is not about an idea. It is about a person —Jesus— and how his love compels us to love him.
