DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE LOVE OF GOD? One of the most misunderstood attributes of God is that God IS Love. Notice I didn't say He is loving or even only lovable. God is love itself so everything He has ever done or will do is a perfect act of love. But herein lies our problem: we live in a society that has a warped view of what true love is. Most people think it refers to doing something sexual. But God demonstrated what true love is by something sacrificial. He sent His Son to die for our sins. Now, that is love! But even with that, we've become so numb to this amazing act of God's love, we have lost any appreciation for it. Therefore, in the Character of God series, "God Is Love" takes a look at the six ways God demonstrates He is love itself. He does it by giving us Compassion, Kindness, Graciousness, Faithfulness, Patience & Goodness. And what's so incredible about all this is that the whole time it's not only free for the asking but we don't deserve it! People of God, if we can't seem to appreciate the fact that God IS Love, then something is terribly wrong with us! If we had any idea of the depths of God's love, we would not only fall on our knees in reverence and kiss the very feet of Christ, but we'd get up on our feet and run to tell everyone about their immediate need of Christ! Why?
Because that's what happens when you truly understand that God Is Love.
