Re-creation involves covenant. Redemption involves agreement between God and humanity. When we, as individuals, hear God’s irresistible and relational love song, we are made immediately aware of those things in our lives that pull us away from God and God’s best for our lives. Deep repentance follows. A throwing off all of those things that the Spirit reveals to be detrimental to the new relationship happens, voluntarily. God’s love does not force this, but it opens the way for each of us to walk through.
