The law of God’s dealings with men<\/p>\n The truth here enunciated is that God’s attitude towards men is regulated by men’s attitude towards God (cp. 1Sa 2:30<\/span>; 1Sa 15:23<\/span>); not (though this is also true) that men’s conceptions of God are the reflection of their own characters.<\/p>\n 2Sa 22:26-27<\/span><\/p>\n With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n God does not forgive the unforgiving<\/strong><\/p>\n You say that the desert is a desert, because no rain falls upon it; but this is only half the truth.
