God created the heavens, the earth, and everyone in it out of love; the Jews were His chosen people, and for thousands of years, they thought they were the only ones God loved and cared about.

Changing the way we think and seeing God through the lens of Jesus Christ gives us progressive and continual revelation; it opens our spiritual eyes so that we can see God as He really is.
