Greater Love

The message of the entire Bible can be summarized in terms of love. Love captures the duty and direction of the whole of the Christian life. But what is love? You won't find it theoretically defined in the Bible. It is always operationally presented, love in action. Contrary to popular notions, love can be commanded. Though it is an affection of the heart, it is a servant of the will. There is no better primer on love than 1 John, which unfolds a love extended by the Father, exhibited in the Son, and exposed as a fruit of Spirit-given assurance. In this devotional, Stan Gale leads us in 45 meditations through John's breathtaking landscape of love.
