Luke 6:36-38

Jesus modeled the spiritual life on the nature of God. The goal of the life of faith is to become godly. That goal places high demands on us because God is supremely compassionate, patient, forgiving and generous. We are expected to emulate those attributes. We are to be compassionate, patient, forgiving and generous as our Father in heaven. In other words, we are to live a life focused on giving rather than receiving.
