He Is Our End

Jesus did not lead us to the Father. It was the Father that called and drew His chosen children to Himself. God called and His children responded. They responded because of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. God called His children out of His love for them.

“Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” (Jeremiah 31:3b)

“therefore with lovingkindness”. The driving force behind lovingkindness is mercy. Mercy because God loves us. This kindness must be of a divine nature so as to counter the cruelty of this world.

Good is a process, an action. Perfection is an end, the completion of that good. A good life is one spent of righteousness, of which only a Godly love can be derived from. Perfection is achieved in the presence of God.

Being Godly is our life, our action, our good. God is our completion. He is our end.
