The heart of God is love itself. His love is well expressed when He has mercy on and forgives those who are unforgivable. Fathers of faith who loved God were full of forgiveness and mercy. When Stephen the first martyr at the early churches was unreasonably stoned to death, he cried toward those who were stoning him, ¡°Lord, do not hold this sin against them!¡± In the same way, if you take after the heart of God, you can glorify Him with the great power of love.
