God Is Love
I have good news. We can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God loves us. John’s letter tells us of God’s great love for us. God’s love took on flesh and dwelt among us. God’s love came into this world so that we might live through him. God loved us so much, he sent his son to be the payment for our sins. What a beautiful and life-changing truth that is for the believer. And now we, as those who are loved by God, must also love one another. John boldly said that we cannot claim to love God and hate our brother. If we do, we’re a liar and we do not know God. Jesus is the perfect picture of love. He willingly laid down his life for sinners like you and I and loved us to the point of death on a cross. What a great love the Father has for us!
