- I only read the sample pages; but,just reading the 1st sample page of study notes of Gen 1:1 regarding repentance I was struck by the deepness and painful process of our eventual recognition of our sin before a Holy, All-Knowing, Perfect God who knows our hearts and if we're lucky, He will reveal to us, too our obligation to Him for All He has done for each one of us in return for nothing--only believing that He is, He has and He will which will hopefully invoke a true desire within each of us to repent and come to God on His terms, not ours because we WANT To, as much as He wants us to realizing agape love for God, ourselves and others. I think this is what will enable us to love our neighbors and desire all to be saved, rather than lost and really feeling the hopelessness and the lost quality of those who will not turn to Him and a desire within us to help them and love them as God loves us. I had never thought about repentance and God's hurt by us and for us in this way; which made me want to read this Study Bible for more insight like this into God's Word.
