January 09, 2019

Dr John P Davis

The love at the first – is the love that is centered in the gospel. It is the love that is created in a heart that is captured by the wonder of what Christ suffered for sinners at the cross. It is a love that responds to God’s great love for me an unworthy sinner. It is this love that results in loving God and loving others. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. (1 Jn. 4:9-11 ESV)
