31: Does God love us?

Last time I mentioned that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have eternally demonstrated love. The really good news for us is that God chose to direct his love toward us as well. When John was helping us understand what it means to love, he said this in 1John 4:10 “In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” I’ll need to look at the word “propitiation” in a future episode. But for now, the key truth is that God decided to take this eternal quality that he possesses - love - and direct that love it toward his children. If you are the child of God, you are the everlasting recipient of God’s love.
