God Is Love (1 John 4:7-21)

Series: 1 John: That You May Know

Preacher: Pastor Brad Hillman

Summary

What does it truly mean that "God is love"? Pastor Brad explains that this isn't just an attribute God has, but His very character. Using 1 John 4, he contrasts the world's definition of love with the biblical truth: God's love is self-giving, ultimately displayed by sending Jesus Christ. This message challenges the idea that we've done anything to deserve or earn God's love. Instead, we find our ultimate confidence in Christ alone, and our active love for others becomes the tangible evidence that we truly love God.

Key Points

• God is love; it's His very character.
• God ultimately displays His love in and through Jesus Christ.
• We've done nothing to deserve God ...
