Sermon: Love: God's and Ours

The motive and essence of the love of God  is a topic that's been debated and discussed in many circles, including Christian ones. Prayerfully, this sermon communicates an accurate, scripturally based picture of God's love and its infinite distinction from any finite and tainted definition.

Text: 1 John 4:7-12

Main Points
1. God’s love is not like the world’s human definition of love, which many of us have obliviously come to absorb and hold to.

2. God’s love is seen in the Gospel. (1 John 4:9-10)

3. Because God is love, this affects the motive and goal of His love towards us, and it should affect our motives as well. (John 15:9,1 John 4:11-12; 1 John 4:16,21)
