The Reality of Divine Love

Dan Rudman | 1 Corinthians 13, 1 John 4:7-14

The Bible contains real history, a real story. Within that story, God reveals the nature of his love for us. That love is sourced in the Father, manifested in the Son, and brought to us in the Spirit. God’s love is long suffering, sacrificial, and meek. It puts up with difficult people, promotes others even when it costs you, and doesn’t begrudge the success of others. God loves us in this way, and he enables and encourages us to love others. If we have encountered the love of God, let us joyfully pour out that same love to those around us!
