It is important to know the Father’s love transcends denominational or non-denominational boundaries. Even moral boundaries. He loves people of various kinds of ethical codes and moral standards. He truly loves individuals we might think are outsiders. The love of the Father is the root of righteousness because it is that love by which He adopts some to be His children and to whom He shows His great mercy. It is this love which unites those He adopts and provides the basis for keeping commandments in how each treats and regards each other, with truth guiding all these ways. It is this love by which He sent His Son as light to guide life, and as provision for sin by death on a cross, and as eternal Lord and Christ by resurrection from the dead. This is the true root of faith and righteous living from the Father.
