Description: “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God, and so we are.” (1 John 3:1 ESV)
In what ways does love change you? In these short books, the disciple “whom Jesus loved” (John 13:23) explores the reality and meaning of God’s love for redeemed sinners. He also explains how the persevering love of God transforms the lives of those who know his forgiveness and care. The love from God is a discerning love, carefully distinguishing between the desires of the flesh and the desires of the Father. Believers play a unique role because in loving others, they reveal the unseen God (1 John 4:12). In this study of John’s “love letters” to the Church, you will be encouraged and challenged by the rich beauty of the God whose love delivers sinner from death to eternal life through the person and work of Jesus.
