God's Pursuit of Affectionate Relationship

About this episode

Fred Wiebe discusses the separation from God caused by sin and how God brings us back to joy and belonging as His children.

Conscience made Adam and Eve hide from God. Fred Wiebe explores the way we all experience this separation due to sin and God’s solution to bring us from shame and guilt to joy and belonging as children of God. Jesus is not ashamed to call us brothers, and he is the hero we attentively model ourselves after.
