There is a continuous theme that flows through the entire New Testament, a love theme” not mere human affection, but the kind of love that has its origin in the heart of God Himself. This God kind of love is the constant factor that reveals itself everywhere in Scripture, and in all of creation.
As children of God, made in His image, it follows that love should be a predominant feature in our nature and character as well. In fact, those of us who are born again, above all, should be students of love, love experts, perhaps. It is not enough however, to simply master the doctrine; God’s love must become a living reality, supernaturally instilled in the heart of our spirit, and lived out in daily life.
This study examines the place, the purpose, and the power of God’s love in spiritual life from four separate, yet closely related perspectives: God’s love for us, loving God, loving yourself, loving others.
The book is well researched and supported by Scripture. Author, Lee Updike has drawn from nearly 50 years of Christian experience and decades of pastoral ministry to provide rich insight into what it means to know the love of God.
