7. God Is Holy In How He Does… ManGod Forgives minimally and conditionally. Loves his friends. Forgives over and over. Matt. 18:22 Loves His enemies. Matt. 5:45

8. “Seek the L ORD while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the L ORD, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the L ORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:6–9)
