He First Loved Us
42 min
God IS love. And to not love would simply mean that God would have to cease being. This means that we can let go of our fears that God will stop loving us, or that he will love us more based on our own merit or good behavior. On the flip side, if God is love, it also means that when God is in us, we must also love.
