+ | I believe that the purity of God is one of the keys to understanding the bible. If you do not get at least | ||
+ | some faint idea of this purity, you cannot understand God's justice. You cannot understand that all what | ||
+ | is not pure must die. It cannot be allowed to live forever! It is just not possible, not good, it would | ||
+ | be like loosing everything. Yet, God generates justice and purity - here we come to the story of the | ||
+ | cross of Christ Jesus. At this cross, a pure heart dies. It is murdered. It is given into vanity. It takes | ||
+ | what all should bear. | ||
+ | The biblical message ist much better than we can even imagine. It is about deep purity which is the only | ||
+ | way to meet our deepest needs. We want to trust. We want to be save. We want to be accepted and loved - | ||
+ | not just tolerated. Of course not. And we find all this in the character and existence of the eternal | ||
+ | God. It is reality, not illusion. It is there, today, for me and for you, through the cross of Jesus. Only | ||
+ | in the light of unlimited purity the blood of Christ becomes a reasonable step. | ||
