Episode notes

Sometimes we take some of humans' worst attributes and apply those to God, which like you said is exactly backwards. We have to think in a whole new way about God isn't using the worst attributes that humans have. There is no commandment given in any scripture by any prophet from any pulpit in any age to make myself into someone who is perfectly lovable. The law isn't a means to some other end. Obaying the law is the work of loving.

How does the experience of being a sinner affect the experience of being saved by Jesus? Dr. Adam Miller discusses why faith is crucial to our experience of redemption.
