When we love God:

1. We Understand The Consequences of Sin, and are Willing to Accept Them (v.17) 

2. We Eagerly Seek the Lord and Receive: (2:3)
   a. Mercy
   b. Righteousness
   c. Humility
3.  We Know Just How Destructive “Pride” is, and Learn to “Stop It” (2:10)

  4.  We Learn the Simple Truth “He Never Fails” (3:5) 

5. We Rejoice in the Restoration That is Expressed in Service (3:9)
