From the very beginning of man's journey, God had a plan for man's deliverance. In fact, the plan is so fantastic that it ultimately lifts each man who will accept His plan far above even the angels. God's all-consuming love for mankind was decisively demonstrated at the cross, where His compassion comes from two Latin words meaning "to suffer with." God was willing to suffer with man.
God's love did not begin at the cross. It began in eternity before the world was established, before the time clock of civilization began to move. The concept stretches our minds to their utmost limits.
God is all His attributes expressed together in one glorious display. All God's attributes are in perfect agreement and alignment with the others. When we see God as He really is, we see a true picture of His love.
