The Love of God
God’s Part The love of God is an expression of the entire Godhead, observed in God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 13:11-14). In the Father (1 John 4:7- 10) In the Son (Rom. 8:35-39) In the Holy Spirit (Rom. 5:1-5)
Our Part Failure to manifest the love of God evidences a lack of balance (Luke 11:42; cf. Matt. 23:23) a lack of perceptiveness (John 5:39-47) a lack of compassion (1 John 3:17-18)
Our Part Successful implementation of the love of God requires direction (2 Thess. 3:1-6) obedience (1 John 2:3-6; 5:1-4) diligence (Jude 17-25)
Conclusion God loves each of us (1 John 4:10). Do we love Him (2 John 6)?
