God Is Always Near:
Sin may separate us from God, but it does not stop God from coming close to us. The separation sin causes is, as it were, on our side; but God is always near for those who wish to close the separation—that is, to repent. That is why Jesus calls the sinner.
====================================================================
Through the adoption of sons God had enabled man so generously and bountifully to know him as Father, to love him with his whole heart, and to follow his Word unfailingly.
- St. Irenaeus of Lyons (c. 130-202)
