DAY 34: DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE LOVE OF GOD? One of the most misunderstood attributes of God is that He IS love. Notice, I did not say He is just loving or lovable—He is actual LOVE itself. Stop and think about that; every single thing God has ever done or ever will do is a perfect act of love. Why? Because God IS love. But here’s the problem: We live in a society that has a warped view of what true love is. When you mention love today, most people think it refers to something sexual. But God demonstrated what true love is by the sacrificial act of sending His Son to die for our sins—that is love! Yet, we’ve become so numb to this amazing act of God's love that we have lost any appreciation for it. The Love of God is our study that takes a look at these six ways God demonstrates He is love itself: Compassion, Kindness, Graciousness, Faithfulness, Patience, and Goodness. And what is so incredible about all this is that it’s free for the asking and we don't even deserve it! If Christians 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 fall on our knees in reverence, kiss the feet of Christ, and then get up on our feet and run to tell everyone of their immediate need of Jesus. Why? Because that’s what happens when you truly understand that God IS LOVE.
