There is no note that can be sounded concerning God’s character that will so inspire faith as this one. I have seen faith reach “mountain high” when the truth of God’s present love and compassion began to dawn upon the minds and hearts of the people. It is not what God can do, but what we know He yearns to do, that inspires faith.
Modern theology magnifies the power of God more than it magnifies His compassion; His power more than it does the great fact that “the exceeding greatness of His power is to usward.” The Bible though reverses this and magnifies His willingness to use His power more than it does the power itself. In no place does the Bible say that “God is power,” but it does say, that “God is love.” It is not faith in God’s power that secures His blessings, but faith in His love, and in His will.

Join us as we investigate the Fathers heart over all of His creation. As Psalms 145 says, 8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. 9 The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works. Your faith will rocket sky high when you understand God’s compassion for you.
Part 4 – Today we look at an encounter from the life of Jesus with a leper who was convinced of God’s power but not of His willingness to use it on his behalf. Jesus was a walking manifestation of God’s will in the earth. Paul understood this when he wrote in Romans 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? NKJV. God is willing and ready to use His power on our behalf.
