God is Love

God is Love. That's the key truth from 1 John 4. God's very nature is defined by love, and he has expressed that most clearly in his decision to send Jesus to die for the sins of the world. He took the first step to demonstrate that love with no guarantee that people would respond to him. That kind of "reckless love" should motivate us to love God, love our neighbors, and invite people to experience the saving grace of Jesus personally.
