God’s true gospel of free and sovereign grace teaches us the profound, unchanging nature of divine love. Unlike the shallow, emotion-driven notion of love promoted by our culture, God’s love in Christ is steadfast, covenantal, and unfailing. It does not depend on our performance or fluctuating feelings, but flows from His eternal purpose to save His people through the finished work of Christ. In a world of shifting affections, believers rest secure in a love that never ends.
The Importance of the Word
We must be willing to let the Word of God confront and even shatter our false assumptions. The danger lies in merely following along the same well-worn “cattle paths” of belief that others have set before us. Instead, we must be like the noble Bereans, who “received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so” (Acts 17:11).
