'God is love' [I John 4:16]
'God is love'. Difficult to see as you tramp the battlefields of this world or see living skeletons of creatures in famine areas. Hard to reconcile, when your friend stabs you in the back or when others trample over you to reach the top. Not the thought uppermost in your mind when blinded by tears or paralysed by remorse. But the picture clarifies when you look away to Calvary. It is then you see that God so loved the world that He gave His Only Son. We must know and believe the love God has for us. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. They only really know God's love who receive it.
