God is Love
Love
God is love. He shows more love than all other beings, for His very nature is love (1 John 4:8). His explicit love was manifest to us in Jesus, God incarnate as a Man to demonstrate this eternal love (1 John 4:9; John 3:16). God’s love does not preclude Him from judgment and punishment on the wicked unbelieving world (John 3:16-19). The love of God is the basis for God’s great acts in history (Psalm 136). Our response to God’s unconditional love is best shown in reflecting His love towards others (John 13:35; 1 John 4:16). He stirs our affections, the very core of our being, to be enabled and desirous of loving Him and others. We love God by enjoying Him more than all else.
