Because of my redemptive gift (we were all created with redemptive gifts. You can find them in Romans 12:6-8; prophet, servant, teacher, exhorter, giver, ruler, and mercy), it is a much stronger feeling for me to see justice prevail; to see wrongs made right. When musing over the fact that when Jesus returns, EVERY single person will bow and confess that Jesus is Lord, it makes my redemptive very happy.

What is Your Redemptive Gift?
Redemptive gifts! We all were created with them; heart motivations, natural tendencies, weaknesses etc. Secular Psychiatrists will use terms such as personality traits to determine where we are mentally, but the truth is that God created us all with specific motivational gifts, and He did so in order to fulfill his plan for the body. Whether or not you're a believer and whether or not you're using your gift for good or evil, everyone was created with one of these...and for a Godly purpose.
You Weren't Created to Love or Please God
You were created to be loved! Did you hear that? You were created to BE LOVED, by the creator and God of the entire universe; He made you so HE could love YOU! God did not create you to love Him; He doesn't need you to love Him because He IS love. He has and IS everything and is fully sustained. Jesus Himself tells us in Psalm 50:12 "If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for all the world is mine and everything in it." This is a message of Grace!
Grace to Get Into Heaven
A man dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter meets him at the pearly gates. St. Peter says, "Here's how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you've done, and I give you a certain number of points for each item, depending on how good it was. When you reach 100 points, you get in."
