The Big Idea:
While we grasp the reality of loving someone for what they have done, we must understand God’s love for us is not in response to our goodness. No, God initiated his love for us because that is who He is. 1 John 4:16 says, “God is love.”
Main Points:
1. What a deep and profound truth. God loves us even when we don’t deserve his love. This kind of love is not natural. It is supernatural. It is divine.
2. One of the character traits of our God is that he is abounding in love towards us. If we could receive this truth it would change our lives.
3. But God’s love cannot be measured. It can’t be tallied. You cannot measure the depth of his love for you, but you can see the evidence. The greatest demonstration of his love for you is the death of his son on the cross.
