What Yahweh wants is a living, breathing people to put his name on display. To show the world what he is like, not only by what we say, but by how we live. That’s what Yahweh is after: a people who are “godly,” who are like the God they worship. A people who are compassionate . . . A people who are gracious . . . A people who are slow to anger . . . A people who are abounding in love and faithfulness . . . And a people who live in the tension of mercy and justice.
