b. We do not understand that our sin has brought him grief.

c. We may fear that he will never receive us again.

d. We may blame God for the evil things that happens to us and others.

4. Christ’s dying reveals just how much God truly loves us and desires to relate to us; it becomes clear evidence of his love and can then eliminate all excuses for not coming to him.
