The Bible teaches that God is love and that His love is manifested through the sending of His Son, Jesus Christ, as a propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:9-10).
God's love is not merely an abstract concept; it is demonstrated in actionable ways. The Bible reveals that God is love (1 John 4:8), and His love is illustrated through the sacrificial act of sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, to be the propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:10). This love is vast and immeasurable, manifesting itself even while we were still sinners, highlighting God’s grace and mercy towards those who are unworthy. As believers, understanding the depth of God's love fuels our love for others, as we respond to His grace.
