Frequently Asked Questions

Does God's compassion mean He ignores sin?

No. Compassion and holiness coexist perfectly in God. He feels genuine tenderness toward you AND calls you to righteousness. A good parent feels compassion for a child who stumbles but still teaches them to walk properly. God's compassion motivates correction, not permissiveness.

How is God's compassion different from human compassion?

Human compassion is limited, inconsistent, and often self-serving. God's compassion never fails (Lamentations 3:22), is renewed daily, extends to everyone, and flows from infinite love. His compassion led Him to give His Son — the ultimate act of self-sacrificing tenderness.
