Leigh Richmond, author of "The Annals of the Poor," was urged to write in an album, "Only two lines," was the plea.
He wrote—"Can 'two lines' teach a lesson from above?
Yes! one shall speak a volume:
God is love!”
Wonderful words indeed! The God we have sinned against—the God of whose glory we come short—"God is love." He loved us while we were far away from Him.
“God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Rom. 5:88But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).
He has thus shown Himself to be a Savior-God, whose will it is that all men should be saved.
“As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die?" Ezek. 33:1111Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? (Ezekiel 33:11).
