Title: The essence of love
Many people today say that God is love. Is God Loving? It is said that his grace is infinitely abundant. That's right. Absolutely not wrong Is God not only loving, but also slow to anger? Are you a long-suffering person? Are you merciful? He is merciful In addition, if we were to list all of God, this space would be insufficient. Because he is such a loving person, God sent his only begotten Son to this earth to die by the shedding of his blood, to forgive our sins with his blood, and to make us believe in his son to achieve eternal life. Therefore, we may be trying to believe and follow God more and more. So, is God unconditionally loving to anyone? It is not. It is a love created by humans. No, maybe it was the devil who transformed God's love into human love and made it appear.
Then, finally, what is the essence of love that God speaks of? Finally, let's take a look at this! God's love is simply too vast. God longs for salvation for all people in the world, not for all people to perish. So, in order to accomplish this, God sent his Son into this world to shed his blood. That is already God's first love for mankind. The way mankind now abides in that love is to believe in the Son sent by the Father. Those who say they will not believe in the Son are those who reject the love of the Father. They were already judged when they were in this world. So, do the people of God believe in the Son sent by the Father? To believe in the Son, you must confess your sins in front of the Son. Only such people will receive the Son with love. This is God's second love for mankind. So the Son is the one who came to bestow this second love at the command of the Father.
