Introduction

Before we can love others, we must first understand the depth of God's love for us.

\n\n

Key Points

So loved the world - God's love is universal and unconditional
While we were sinners - Love came before our response
Gave His only Son - The ultimate demonstration of love

\n\n

Application

Spend time reflecting on God's love for you personally. Journal about how His love has changed your life.

Faith without works is dead - Love requires action
Meeting practical needs - Love sees and responds
