God Is Love
from Christian Spirituality on SermonAudio Hosted by Ashley Mendes
This sermon explores the biblical declaration that God is love, distinguishing it from a sentimental or permissive view by emphasizing that God's love is inseparable from His holiness and justice. The central argument is that the love of God, demonstrated supremely in the sending of Christ as a propitiation for sin, is the source of the believer's capacity to love other Christians. This mutual love among believers serves as a tangible witness to the world, revealing the character of God who is otherwise unseen. Furthermore, the text argues that cultivating this Christ-like love is essential for spiritual assurance, as it perfects the believer's faith and casts out the fear of judgment. The sermon concludes by urging believers to actively appropriate and dwell upon God's love, allowing it to drive their daily interactions and secure their confidence in the life to come.
