I hope if you attend Christian worship tomorrow you won’t be subjected to a lesson in moral improvement, an exhortation about how God can use you by your following a list of steps of moral improvements drawn from Bible narrative turned into object lessons.
I trust you’ll hear about God’s redemptive love, which always achieves its purposes not by making people better so that they’re useful, but by making the imperfect actions of people serve His better purpose of bringing His people into family and caring for and preserving them.
Mark Altrogge has a few more thoughts on the subject.
