Bible Question: Are we ever "worthy" of God's love or from God's perspective, "loveable?" |
Bible Answer: Kas, I've read the exchange with Hank and I'm wondering if you're asking a different question. The choice of the word 'worthy' has a conotation of the economics of redemption. i.e. We have no ability apart from God to save or justify ourselves. Is that what your trying to get to? Or is your question more along the lines of personal value, is there anything in us worth saving? To me, that is a very different question. Hope I haven't wasted your time. N.L. |
